France,  The Riviera

The Beaches of the French Riviera

August 15, 2011 / 4 Comments

With over 560 miles consistent of both sand and shingle beaches, the French Riviera is the playground of the well-traveled who are seeking what is perhaps not so often seen in modern times – extraordinary privacy, luxury, and sheer exhibitionism.  Once you arrive at the Nice Cote d’Azur or Mandelieu airports, the A-8 auto route is merely a short gap between the plane and your favorite hotel or resort destination.
