List of campsites in the Cote d'Azur.

The French Cote d'Azur is one of the best places anywhere for a camping holiday. The climate is fantastic, with the summer heat being moderated by refreshing sea breezes. The coastline is not only spectacular, comprising pine clad headlands, hidden coves and wide stretches of golden sand, but the sea is warm and the swimming is safe. Tourists have been coming to these parts for over 200 years, so the locals know how to cater for your needs, with every type of activity on offer, on land and sea.

Strung along the coast are the fabulous resorts of Nice, Cannes and Monte Carlo. Nice is much more than just a smart resort, with a fascinating old town and a bustling market, as well as countless bars and restaurants. Cannes might be expensive close to the centre and the famous Croisiere, but its beaches extend for miles on either side of the town. Monte Carlo is worth a trip to see the Castle and to marvel at the expensive yachts moored in the harbour. Or there are smaller towns such as charming Menton close to Italy, or Antibes with its faded grandeur.

Inland you'll find a landscape bathed in sunlight and awash with the scents of pines and lavender that have been distilled into the perfumes for which the region is famous. Visit the perfume capital of Grasse to sample these extravagances. Or there are some great galleries and museums honouring the many artists who have found the light here irresistible. Try the Fondation Maeght in the delightful village of St-Paul-de-Vence, or the Picasso Museum in Antibes.
