It’s been some years now that I had a brief trip in Marseille. One day was all we had in our disposal for sightseeing; road tripping in French Riviera was the most preferable way to spend it. Let’s take a quick look of  Cote d’Azur.

Casino Monte Carlo, Monaco

Monaco

The principality was the furthermost but no doubt, the first place to visit. No words could ever describe the unbiased wealth in this tiny state. Walking through Casino de Monte Carlo up to Port Hercule and there you delve into luxury! Sure money is not everything but can be impressive nonetheless. Additionally, as Formula One addict, I felt thrilled while I was stepping on the circuit.

Nice

A brief stop to walk a bit the coast up to the port. Nice “la Belle” is a crowded and bustling city (around 1M people). Hemingway, Fitzgerald, H.G.Wells, Nabokov, Chekhov, Oscar Wilde, Matisse, Signac and many more intellectuals lived here; no wonder why.

Cannes

Trademarked by the annual Film Festival, less fancy by the neighbour Nice but a good follower of the glamorous Monaco. Some multi-starred hotels and couture shops across the iconic La Croisette ,set the ideal scenery to enjoy strolling the palm-shaded promenade.
