They call it the Côte d'Azur – the Azure Coast. Maybe it’s because of the clear blue skies that blanket these sparkling Mediterranean shores and pour sunshine across your family as you sink your toes in the sand. Or maybe it’s the turquoise waters that offer a refreshing dip after a day’s bike ride down from the southern French Alps right to the water’s edge. Or perhaps it’s simply what one must feel at the thought of ever leaving this magical place.
