A transverse road in the South of France, between Toulon and Marseille. Not the shortest one, especially compared to the close by highway. But hell (pun intended), the scenery is so incredible that it's a must go !

Esterel lointain offers several hikes between the sea and the cliffs: "le chemin des douaniers" at Saint aygulf and "le sentier du litoral" which begins at the port of Santa Lucia in Saint Raphaël and ends at le "débarquement beach", some 4 km intermediate level. You can discover, along the way, beautiful coves where to swim in peace. sun block is required, good anti slip shoes, water and a towel and your camera of course, the shots are exceptional thanks to the red rocks color of the region. To go back, you can take the bus, it runs every hour, if too tired.

This is a definite must place to visit for gourmets! The well-designed and well-run museum in the house where Escoffier was born is now run by the city. The 6 euros entry fee even included a Peach Melba dessert and coffee on our visit! The precious collection of menus and the well preserved period cooking utensils are enlightening: one comes away with a better understanding of how French cuisine was born and its historical influence on the New York dining scene.
4. Villa Kerylos

Discover this Cote d'Azur seaside Palazzo, luxurious reconstitution of an Ancient Greek Villa. At the edge of the sea, facing the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula, the Villa is a magic place that takes you back in time. Entirely furnished and decorated, the Villa's many rooms bear witness to the art of living and refinement of Ancient Greece. The Villa is also a place for wedding and receptions organization.

Villa Kerylos is an amazing place on the Cote D'Azur, situated on Beaulieu sur Mer , that is worth it to pay a visit. Built in 1900 by french archaeologist Theodore Reinach and his wife Fanny Kann , of the Ephrussi family. They wanted to recreate the atmosphere of a luxurios greek villa in a new building and they succeeded ! This beautiful villa inspired Baroness Beatrice de Rothschild to built Villa Ephrussi de Rotschild at nearby Cap Ferrat vhich i visited an year ago (see my review about it) .

If you are an admirer of Renoir or just an art lover, it is fascinating to visit this house situated in a lovely garden overlooking Cagnes sur Mer. Fascinating to see what this great painter surrounded himself with and to see what he painted - because he painted what he saw. A wonderful opportunity to explore further his life and his work. I really enjoyed this visit.

Two islands just a boat ride from Cannes, Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, are covered by eucalyptus and pine forests and are home to Fort Royal.

so worth the visit, either by charter crossing or a private hire boat, the views back looking onto Cannes are stunning, the water is fresh and clear, perfect for a picnic and a cool swim
10. Calanques

Reviewed By SarahKraus - Edmonton, Canada
We had 2 boat tours cancelled for bad weather so we braved the rain and wind and hiked from Cassis to Port Pin Calanque and went for a swim! 2.5 hours of parking was enough for us to do it all. Beautiful, peaceful bay. Very calming.
