Nicknamed the playground for the wealthy, the French Riviera is no doubt one of the world’s most luxurious holiday destinations. Located in the South of France, it’s the stretch of Mediterranean coastline that makes up a sizeable chunk of the country: Nice, the French Rivera capital; Cannes, the heart of cinema and film; St. Tropez, a charming town of laidback luxury, and the independent state of Monaco known as the billionaires’ playground.
