ALONG THE CÔTE
by tóco d’azur
Discover the places, lifestyle and
hidden corners of the Côte d’Azur
Where on the Côte d’Azur would you actually like to be?
It sounds like a simple question. It isn’t.
Nice, Cannes, Antibes and St. Tropez offer quite different ways of experiencing the Côte, and even places only a few kilometres apart can have surprisingly little in common. Then there are the villages in the hills, the quieter stretches of coast and neighbourhoods you may never have heard of until you start looking properly.
Along the Côte is a place to explore all of them. We take a closer look at towns, villages and individual neighbourhoods, and include YouTube videos where they help to give you a better feel for a place. Sometimes seeing the streets, the market or the harbour tells you more than another description ever could.
Much of what you find here comes from years spent working on the Côte through tóco d’azur, our real estate agency. Showing people houses inevitably means showing them everything around those houses too. And very often, finding the right town or neighbourhood comes before finding the right property.
So have a look around. Whether you’re simply curious about the Côte or wondering if you might one day spend more time here, this is a good place to start.
And then there is everything that makes the Côte the Côte.
The painters who came for the light. The architects who built extraordinary houses along the coast. Grand hotels, old villas, local markets, coastal walks and places you may have driven past for years without stopping.
We write about those stories too. About Matisse and Picasso, architecture and history, but also about things to see, places to visit and whatever else we come across that seems worth sharing.
Because the Côte d’Azur is more than a collection of beautiful towns along the Mediterranean. The longer you spend here, the more there seems to be to discover.
And if exploring the Côte eventually turns into something more serious, that’s where tóco d’azur comes in. As a boutique real estate agency, we have been helping international buyers find and purchase homes on the French Riviera since 1998.
Curious about the Côte? Stay here and explore.
