 Go to Côte d'Azur
 From the Cadogan Guides series. Visitors have flocked to the Côte d'Azur for nearly two centuries, irresistibly drawn by the welcoming climate and warm seas, top-notch restaurants and hotels -- and by a vision of a palm-fringed paradise a million miles from home, yet perfectly within reach. From royalty to writers, artists to actors, rub shoulders with the rich and famous in Cannes, Monaco or St-Tropez, or shun the dazzle of the coast and escape just inland, to hilltop villages headily scented with mimosa and lemon, jasmine and pine. And at dusk, when the intoxicating light that inspired Matisse and Van Gogh fades into the balmy warmth of a summer night and every bay glitters with the lights from a hundred yachts, relax with a glass of wine and wonder why you'll ever leave. From the book:
'The presence of so many rich, idle foreigners who stayed for months at a time formed a large part of the city's character: corruption, reactionary politics and organized crime are part of the famous salade nicoise, along with a high density of apricot poodles and frown-faced poodle ladies. But Nice also has a university, big culture, the brilliant light that Matisse loved and a genuine identity as a city -- rough, affable and informal.' "Good writing, amusing comment and invaluable advice "
