The French Riviera still has plenty of jet-setting glamour, but you don't have to be a millionaire or a film star to enjoy its breathtaking beauty, glorious climate and excellent cuisine. Dubbed the 'Azure Coast' by the French because of its bright blue waters, the region has a rugged, mountanous landscape, which forms a dramatic backdrop for stylish seaside resorts, where million-dollar yachts pack the marinas, and where palatial hotels and chic casinos recall a bygone age of elegance.
