Nice has two important historic centres: the Cimiez hill, where the vestiges of Roman occupation can still be seen and the old Nice that is almost completely pedestrian.

The rest of the town consists mostly of beautiful old bourgeois buildings of the last century. Very few recent constructions can be seen except at Cimiez and the Lanterne quarter that is know as the " Beverly Hills " of Nice.

Nice's activities are mainly orientated towards tourism.

After Brest, Toulon is the second military port of France and is organised around its naval base and officers.

Its religious heritage is also well represented by the 17th century Gothic cathedral and you can also see an amazing birds-eye view of the town and it harbour by climbing the Mount Faron.

Still and always the main destination for the jet-set. The town is better appreciated in winter, with less traffic jams, people and ridiculously expensive things.

The cultural and historical heritage of Saint Tropez is vast. The fishing port has remained lively, the 16th century citadel has been well preserved and three remarkable towers are scattered around Saint Tropez.

Cannes has come a long way from little fishing village to Cannes the town of famous festivals and congresses! Cannes is a town totally dedicated to tourism with its numerous five star luxury hotels and its bay, that is the preferred place of celebrities and luxury passenger liners. Today Cannes conserves its distinctive character between modern city and sea resort.
