Côte d’Azur

Monte Carlo, Nice, Cannes, and St-Tropez – the quartet of French cities at the heart of this sexy Mediterranean strip – conjure images of well-heeled vacationers passing long days on the beach, and even longer nights at elegant casinos, fine restaurants, and hot nightclubs. A night of gambling at Monte Carlo’s famed casino is a must – walk in looking like a million dollars and, with any luck, you’ll walk out with a bank account to match. Nice, the region’s major metropolitan center, has the most abundant nightlife and summer events, like the prestigious Nice Jazz Festival. If you’re content to strut your stuff, the place to do it is Cannes’ palm-treed the Croisette, a boardwalk lined with cafés, restaurants, fancy hotels, and glitzy designer shops. The paramount place to be seen after dark, mind you, is St. Tropez, at spots like the famous seaside Les Caves du Roy. Just make sure to change into something with deep pockets come nightfall – you’ll surely need them to afford these chi-chi summer spots.
