The Côte d'Azur is eternal Museums, artists, exhibitions, towns, villages, events, entertainment,
discoveries, colours, forms, outdoor spaces, fragrances, savours...
Here in the Riviera sunshine, each passing day inspires a new emotion. In imposing museums or colourful markets, in ancient villages or palatial hotels. In the winter light or the dazzle of summer, the explosion of spring or autumnal serenity, an intense and exciting experience awaits you. 365 days to join the festivities or make new discoveries, each second devoted to savouring pleasure and awe. The Côte d'Azur is eternal.
Almost 100 museums and historic monuments, as many art galleries and studios, 2 opera-houses, 25 theatres, about 50 entertainment halls and a myriad of artistic events all year round (concerts, ballets, opera, jazz...) all make the Côte d'Azur an artistic and cultural destination of rare excitement. Only the Riviera can offer you over 3,200 cultural events a year, including more than 800 concerts, 1,300 theatre performances, about 100 musical shows, 90 operas, over 170 festivals and other events, not to mention about 500 art exhibitions.
From prehistoric engravings in the Valley of Marvels to contemporary artworks by the School of Nice, not forgetting the Roman ruins at Cimiez and La Turbie or the frescos by Nice's Primitive Painters of the 15th century in admirable Romanesque chapels in the hill-country. From Baroque architecture to Rococo Belle Époque, from Impressionism to the New Age, all these movements have flourished in the sun-blessed brilliance of the Côte d'Azur.
