French Riviera

The words 'The French Riviera' evoke images of idyllic Mediterranean towns graced with lush palm trees and azure seas (such as Nice, Villefranche), medieval hilltop villages captured in time (St-Paul-de-Vence, Grasse and Èze), glamorous coastal towns (take a bow Monaco and Cannes), and colourful harbours dotted with the expensive yachts of the rich and famous.

The light and beauty of the Côte d'Azur has inspired great artists including Matisse, Chagall, Picasso and Renoir, it has been a haven for the rich and famous for centuries, and continues to attract discerning travellers. Great Rail Journeys offers four ways to see this celebrated coastline, including the hilltop towns and chic resorts of Provence.
