Côte d'Azur, France in Summer — Luxury Edition — Elite
From the superyacht quays of Monaco to Provençal lavender fields, summer on the French Riviera is a study in contrasts — Belle Époque glamour meeting sun-warmed stone villages, Michelin kitchens opening onto Mediterranean breezes, and every day closing with rosé on a terrace as the light turns gold.
The Côte d'Azur in summer is the platonic form of the French Riviera — yachts in every marina, parasols in regimental rows on private beaches, and the scent of saltwater and Ambre Solaire on every breeze. Between Nice and Saint-Tropez, the coastline compresses a century of glamour into 120 kilometres: Belle Époque palaces in Cannes, art-deco casinos in Monaco, and pastel fishing villages where Picasso and Matisse once kept studios. Your summer Luxury Elite kit is a complete, self-guided plan: 6 must-see highlights, 6 hand-picked places to stay and 22 restaurants chosen for you, 6 signature experiences plus 5 reserve splurges worth building the trip around, and 6 ways to slow down and restore. It is built on a 19-day day-by-day itinerary, with a full budget breakdown, a capsule packing list, when-to-go timing and every practical and emergency detail in one place — 112+ pages distilled from 60+ hours of research. For $729, the planning, the shortlist and the insider timing are done — you simply turn up.
