Cote d’Azur has inspired many world-renowned artists with its captivating landscape, a work of art in itself. Known as the French Riviera, this magnificent coast leads to beautiful, panoramic towns and a sovereign city-state.

Antibes
Rich history, an annual jazz festival, impressive impressionism, cobbled streets, and yellow-sand beach coves characterize Antibes. So, a yacht charter Antibes holiday is sure to give you lots of wonderful memories.
Nestled between Cannes and Nice on Cote d’Azur, this resort town is known for its star-shaped 16th-century fortress, Fort Carre. Built upon Roman ruins overlooking the Port Vauban marina, this enthralling historic site had once housed Napoleon Bonaparte when he was imprisoned during the French Revolution. For more things Napoleonic, you can visit the Naval and Napoleonic Museum to find a collection of the military leader’s hats and artifacts.
Take a stroll along Picasso’s trail, a walk that features the creative muses of impressionists: distant mountains, rugged rock formations, and a view of the deep blue sea. Delve deeper into the art style in the Picasso Museum in Chateau Grimaldi, where 254 of Picasso’s works are displayed.
Another place worth a visit is Cap d’Antibes, an intriguing headland with a multitude of nature sites, villas, and gardens. The La Garoupe chapel is located here, which is a shrine built in memory of those lost at sea.
Cannes
It’s no surprise that this city is well-known; its yearly red carpet event, the Film Festival, attracts celebrities and filmmakers worldwide. Yacht charter Cannes holidays are also quiet popular.

Take a stroll along the iconic, palm-shaded promenade La Croisette, where couture shops and ritzy, art deco style hotel palaces stand amidst stunning views of the edges of the Esterel mountains and the sparkling Baie de Cannes. You can also find the InterContinental Carlton in this boulevard; the hotel’s intriguing twin domes are designed to resemble the breasts of the infamous courtesan Caroline “La Belle” Otero, lover of Tsar Nicholas II and King Edward VII.
Corsica
