The French Riviera has been a favourite haunt of those seeking sun, sea and
sand since the concept of holidays was first thought of back at the end of the
18th century. Initially a sun-kissed coastline of hidden coves, sandy bays and
quaint fishing villages, the tourist trade has changed the French Riviera out of
all recognition.
But fortunately it is still possible to find some peace and
quiet amongst the glitz and glamour that is the Riviera today. For instance, the
coast between St Tropez and Hyeres is relatively undeveloped, with small beaches
where you could well be the only ones swimming in the clear tourquoise sea. But
you might need a good map of the area and be prepared to walk a bit!

 For most people a camping holiday in the French Riviera is an opportunity to
enjoy this idyllic land without breaking the bank. The campsites are all of an
excellent quality and many give good access to beaches. You can take a few days
out from sunbathing and swimming to visit the famous resorts of Nice, Cannes,
Monte Carlo or St Tropez. Nice is a lovely city with an extensive historic old
town where you can eat well and not too expensively. Take the lift up to the
hilltop chateau for a great view of the town and the Promenade des Anglais.
Cannes is more glamorous, but still worth a visit for a stroll along the
promenade, whilst Monte Carlo, in the Principality of Monaco, is home to the
rich and famous, as is evident by the astonishing display of super-yachts in the
harbour. St Tropez has it share of conspicuous wealth but manages to retain some
small-town charm.

Some of the best beaches are around the Fréjus and St Raphael end of the
Riviera, where the beaches are wide and long, and great for the kids.
Fréjus was
an important Roman town, and has a medieval town which blends well with the
redeveloped marina. In the hills behind is the mountainous region of the Massif
de l'Esterel, with good walking and mountain biking trails.
You can fly to the Cote d'Azur/Nice or Marseilles airport. If you do, check
