We Travel The Elegant Côte D’Azur
Within the immense space that is the Mediterranean Sea, with waters that have bathed human civilization since the dawn of time in old Europe and North Africa, we find a particularly beautiful and deep corner, the Côte d’Azur, whose beaches and cliffs we headed today.
The Côte d’Azur is a small corner of southern France whose towns and beaches, located between the borders with Spain and Italy, are bathed by the Mediterranean Sea.
