Welcome to The Good Life France Podcast!
Today we’re setting sail for the French Riviera as English speakers call it, the Côte d’Azur as French speakers call it, the azure blue coast. It’s a stretch of Mediterranean coastline that is as rich in history as it is in sun-drenched luxury. We’ll explore how it came to be so famous – from the Victorian Lords, Ladies and a Queen who discovered it, loved it and were sort of early influencers, to American celebrities who shaped its fame. We’ll uncover some of the best spots to visit, and share some fun facts along the way.
The French Riviera stretches from the southern edge of France to the border with Italy. Its story of glamour and allure began long before the movie stars arrived. It was the British who made it famous first – as a winter holiday destination, but it was the American influence in the early 20th century that really put it on the map – as a summer holiday destination. So grab your sunglasses and join us as we delve into the allure of the Côte d’Azur.
