Visit the French Riviera

Visit the iconic Casino de Monte-Carlo, a historic and luxurious casino in Monaco known for its Belle Époque architecture and high-stakes gaming.

Greek temples, Arab-Norman cathedrals, baroque towns and Etna — Sicily is a Mediterranean civilisation of its own

Liguria’s pastel coast of fishing villages, pesto and cliff paths — including the five lands of Cinque Terre

Caribbean-clear water, Bronze Age stone towers and a fiercely independent island culture and cuisine

Visit Nice, the capital of the French Riviera. Stroll along the Promenade des Anglais (iconic 7km seafront walkway), explore the Old Town (Vieux Nice) with its narrow streets and Cours Saleya market (famous for flowers and local produce), and admire the panoramic views from Colline du Château (a historic hilltop park). Don't miss the Musée Matisse (dedicated to the artist's works in a 17th-century villa) and try local specialties like socca (chickpea pancake) and salade niçoise.

Experience world's most prestigious film festival

Explore the glamorous French Riviera city of Cannes. Stroll along La Croisette (the iconic palm-lined boulevard with luxury hotels and designer boutiques), visit the Palais des Festivals (home of the famous Cannes Film Festival), wander through Le Suquet (the historic old town with a medieval castle and panoramic views), and take a boat to Ile Sainte-Marguerite (the island where the Man in the Iron Mask was imprisoned).

Truffaut plays a director shooting a bad film, and every crisis of a shoot.
