known as the Cote d'Azur, the French Riviera is on the Mediterranean
coastline of the South Eastern corner of France, including the independent
state of Monaco. The Riviera consists of 560 miles of sand and shingle
beaches. Initially a winter health resort of British and Russian
royalty in the late 18th Century, by the mid 19th Century it became
the playground of the international elite which it still is today.
