Côte d’Azur: a dream come true!
Ideally located between the sea and the mountains, this incredible territory composed of 51 towns and villages draws a unique and shared identity between the coast, the hills, the valleys, and the mountains. It is an easy-to-reach destination thanks to its international airport, the second largest in France after Paris that provides several direct flights from and to the USA.
The Côte d’Azur, or French Riviera, with its incomparable light that leaves the visitors in awe, its vibrant colors and its picturesque landscapes, is a perfect setting for film shoots. This is why the production team of the famous Netflix series Emily in Paris chose this area to shoot a special episode, featuring dreamy beaches, the famous route des trois corniches and the Grand-Hôtel du Cap Ferrat.
Culturally speaking, this beautiful destination benefits from an exceptional heritage that spans the ages, a significant museum offer, and a site on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
It is also a food lover’s dream, with a love for cuisine and a Mediterranean art of living, with a wide range of fresh products available.

EXPERIENCE THE MAKING OF FRENCH PERFUME AT FRAGONARD
Founded in Grasse in 1926, Fragonard is the story of a family, of perfumers and of collectors that has been passed down through four generations.
In 1926, Fragonard consisted of a small artisan perfumery, where local flowers and plants were distilled to prepare perfume concentrates, essential oils and other floral absolutes.
Over the years, the perfumery has developed under the impetus of its managers, who have helped the company evolve.
In nine decades, Fragonard has gone from being a simple manufacturing workshop to a world of its own, with three factories, six museums and twenty-four boutiques.
Included in your trip are two spots for a Fragonard “Atelier Apprenti Parfumeur” in Eze.
