Cassis

Cassis, France

There's the Cote d'Azur of fashion and celebrities. Then there are the easygoing towns where art, food and fun are more important. Call it the Cote d'Obscure.

Mediterranean

Along the Côte d’Obscure, the Riviera sun shines just as radiantly, the Mediterranean waters are just as warm and the olive- and tomato-soaked Provençal cuisine is just as succulent (and sometimes more so).

Villefranche

International flights to Nice provide the best access to Cagnes, Eze and Villefranche. From Nice, you can reach the towns by rental car (in summer, coastal roads are traffic-choked and parking is scarce) or by public bus.
