Cap d'Antibes is known for hosting the celebrity-packed Cannes Film Festival, held every year at the glamorous Hôtel du Cap-Eden Roc. Extravagant estates amid pine trees overlook the water in Billionaire’s Bay, a French Riviera highlight.

The French Riviera (or Côte d'Azur) is the Mediterranean coast of southeastern France. It includes famously glamorous beach resorts such as Saint-Tropez and Cannes, and the independent microstate of Monaco. A health retreat in the 18th century, the area later attracted aristocrats, artists and the 1960s "jet set." Today it’s an established holiday destination, with paths connecting many coastal villages and towns.
