Nice offers the Cours Saleya with one of the finest flower markets in France and the Promenade des Anglais, where the Belle Époque feel is still tangible. Excursions reach Monaco in minutes, or the hilltop villages of the Côte d'Azur such as Eze and Gourdon.
Picturesque coastal town on the Gulf of La Spezia in the Italian Liguria region, at the south-eastern end of the Cinque Terre. A massive Genoese castle overlooks the Bay of Poets, where Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley once lived.
Portoferraio is the capital of Elba and lies in one of the best-protected natural harbours of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Elba is known as Napoleon's place of exile (1814-15), as a hiking island and for its crystal-clear waters along granite shores.
Santa Manza Bay lies east of Bonifacio on the south-east coast of Corsica, a sheltered fjord-like inlet with crystal-clear water. The calm bay is a favoured anchorage for sailing yachts between the rocky beaches of the Bonifacio plateau.
On white limestone cliffs at the southern tip of Corsica - Bonifacio literally hovers above the sea. The medieval citadel town lies just 12 kilometres from the Sardinian cape; below, boats anchor in the fjord-like harbour bay.
On the Gulf of Ajaccio on Corsica's western coast, this fine-sand beach stretches opposite the island capital. Pine groves line the bay, where the maquis-covered hills of the Corsican hinterland mirror in the clear water.
Ajaccio spreads around a wide bay on the west coast of Corsica and is regarded as the sunniest capital in France. Napoleon Bonaparte was born here in 1769; his birthplace and the cathedral where he was baptised shape the old town.
Saint-Tropez shifts depending on the season: a picturesque fishing harbour with the old citadel and the Place des Lices as an authentic Provence town on the one hand - a luxury yacht anchorage with international society on the other. The Musée de l'Annonciade houses important post-impressionist works.
