French Riviera Beach Photos
Nice
French Riviera Beach photos are some of the most picturesque images you will ever see, with their stunning coastlines, landscapes, and skylines. Whether they grace your wall, sit on your desktop, or fill your favorite album, nothing says gorgeous more than pictures of the French Riviera.
The French Riviera, otherwise know as the trendy Côte d'Azur, is the Mediterranean coastline in the southeast of France. While it has no official borders, it is said to extend from Menton in the east to St. Tropez in the west. What makes the region so popular and what makes French Rivera Beach photos so unforgettable are the long stretches of sandy and pebbled beaches, the perfect Mediterranean climate, and the sparkling waters. Add to this the scenic beach restaurants located along the entire coast, the view of parasols stretching for miles, a colorful beach, the sight of parasailing and paragliding over blue waters - and you have a picture-perfect setting.
