Historically, culturally and socially, the two cities are moons apart, and for visitors the tendency is to love one and hate the other. Aix is more immediately attractive, a stately and in parts pretty place that\u2019s traditionally seen as conservative. The proudest moment in its history was its fifteenth-century heyday as an independent fiefdom under the beloved King Ren\u00e9 of Anjou, while in the nineteenth century it was home to close friends Paul C\u00e9zanne and \u00c9mile Zola. Today, the youth of Aix dress immaculately; hundreds of foreign students, particularly Americans, come to study here; and there\u2019s a certain snobbishness, almost of Parisian proportions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Known as\u00a0<strong>Vieil Aix<\/strong>, the tangle of medieval lanes at the city\u2019s heart is a great monument in its entirety, an enchanting ensemble that\u2019s far more compelling than any individual building or museum it contains. With so many streets alive with people; so many tempting restaurants,\u00a0<i>cafes<\/i>\u00a0and shops; a fountain-ed square to rest in every few minutes; and a backdrop of architectural treats from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, it\u2019s easy to while away days at a time enjoying its pleasures. On Saturdays, and to a lesser extent on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the center is taken up with some of the finest\u00a0markets\u00a0in Provence.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\">MARSEILLE<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_10392\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10392\" class=\"wp-image-10392 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/marseille2.jpg\" alt=\"My Trip To The French Riviera\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10392\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My Trip To The French Riviera<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ancient city of\u00a0Marseille\u00a0possesses its own earthy magnetism, while right on its doorstep there\u2019s swimming and sailing in the pristine waters of the\u00a0Calanques national park. Here,\u00a0true Mediterranean magic is also to be found in the scented vegetation, silver beaches, secluded islands and medieval perched villages like\u00a0Grimaud\u00a0and\u00a0La Garde Freinet. You can escape to the wonderful unspoiled landscapes of the\u00a0\u00celes d\u2019Hy\u00e8res, with some of the best flora and fauna in Provence, then contrast the beachcomber charm of La Croix Valmer with the flashy ebullience of its over-hyped neighbor,\u00a0St-Tropez\u00a0\u2013 unmissable if only for a day-trip, though you need to be prepared to contend with huge crowds during summer time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10380 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Marseille1.jpg\" alt=\"My Trip To The French Riviera\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Founded by the Greeks some two and a half millennia ago, the most renowned and populated metropolitan area in France after Paris and Lyon has both prospered and been ransacked over the centuries. It has lost its privileges to French kings and foreign armies, recovered its fortunes, suffered plagues, religious bigotry, republican and royalist terror and had its own Commune and Bastille-storming. It was the march of Marseillaise revolutionaries to Paris in 1792 that gave the\u00a0<em>Hymn of the Army of the Rhine<\/em>\u00a0its name of\u00a0<em>La Marseillaise<\/em>, later to become the national anthem. Occupied by the Germans during World War II, it became a notably cosmopolitan place in the postwar years. Undoubtedly one of the cities you cannot skip visiting!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>CANNES<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10377 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Cannes1.jpg\" alt=\"My Trip To The French Riviera\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With its immaculate seafront hotels and exclusive beach concessions, glamorous yachts and designer boutiques,\u00a0<strong>Cannes<\/strong>\u00a0is in many ways the definitive Riviera resort, a place where appearances count, especially during the\u00a0film festival\u00a0in May, when the orgy of self-promotion reaches its annual peak. The seafront Palais des Festivals is the heart of the film festival but also hosts conferences, tournaments and trade shows. Despite its glittery image, Cannes works surprisingly well as a big seaside resort, with plenty of free, sandy public beaches. You\u2019ll find the non-paying\u00a0beaches\u00a0to the west of Le Suquet towards the suburb of\u00a0La Bocca\u00a0along the\u00a0plages du Midi, though there\u2019s also a tiny public section of beach on\u00a0Plage de la Croisette, just east of the Palais des Festivals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10378 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/cannes2.jpg\" alt=\"My Trip To The French Riviera\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Alternatively, you can explore the old aristocratic suburbs La Croix des Gardes and La Californie, once populated by Russian and British royals. Just offshore, the peaceful\u00a0\u00celes de L\u00e9rins\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Ste-Marguerite\u00a0and\u00a0St-Honorat\u00a0\u2013 offer a sublime, easily accessible contrast to the frenetic town, while further out are the towns of\u00a0Vallauris, with its interesting Picasso connections, and\u00a0Grasse, famed for its perfume.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong style=\"color: #000000; text-align: justify; text-decoration: underline;\">NICE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The capital of the Riviera and fifth largest city in France,\u00a0<strong>Nice<\/strong>\u00a0lives off a glittering reputation. Far too large to be considered simply a beach resort, it has all the advantages and disadvantages of a major city: superb culture, shopping, eating and drinking, but also crime, graffiti and horrendous traffic, all set against a backdrop of blue skies, sparkling sea and sub-tropical greenery kept lush by sprinklers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10394\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10394\" class=\"wp-image-10394 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Nice1.jpg\" alt=\"My Trip To The French Riviera\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-10394\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My Trip To The French Riviera<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Popularized by English aristocrats in the eighteenth century, Nice reached its zenith in the\u00a0<em>belle \u00e9poque<\/em>\u00a0of the late nineteenth century, and has retained its historical styles almost intact: the medieval rabbit warren of\u00a0<em>Vieux Nice<\/em>, the Italianate facades of\u00a0modern Nice\u00a0and the rich exuberance of\u00a0<em>fin-de-si\u00e8cle<\/em> residences\u00a0dating from when the city was Europe\u2019s most fashionable winter retreat. It has mementos from its time as a Roman regional capital, and earlier still, when the Greeks founded the city. The\u00a0museums\u00a0are a treat for art lovers, and though its politics are conservative Nice doesn&#8217;t feel stuffy; it has a highly visible lesbian and gay community and spirited nightlife. Of late Nice has been smartening up its act with extensive\u00a0refurbishment\u00a0of its public spaces and the construction of an ultra-modern\u00a0tramway. Conservative it may be, but Nice does not rest on its laurels.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong style=\"line-height: 13px; text-align: justify;\"><em>La Principaut\u00e9 de\u00a0<\/em>MONACO<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10399 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Monaco2.jpg\" alt=\"My Trip To The French Riviera\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Viewed from a distance, there\u2019s no mistaking the cluster of towers that is\u00a0<strong>Monaco<\/strong>.

This tiny state, no bigger than London\u2019s Hyde Park, retains its comic opera independence: it has been in the hands of the autocratic Grimaldi family since the thirteenth century, and in theory would become part of France were the royal line to die out. It is home to six thousand British expats \u2013 including Roger Moore and Shirley Bassey \u2013 out of a total population of around 36,000. Along with its wealth, Monaco latterly acquired a reputation for wheeler-dealer\u00a0sleaze. On his accession in 2005, the US-educated Prince Albert II set about trying to get the principality off an OECD list of uncooperative tax havens, declaring he no longer wished Monaco to be known \u2013 in the words of Somerset Maugham \u2013 as \u201ca sunny place for shady people\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10397 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Monaco1.jpg\" alt=\"My Trip To The French Riviera\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The oldest part of the principality is\u00a0Monaco-Ville, around the palace on the rocky promontory, with the\u00a0Fontvieille\u00a0marina in its western shadow.\u00a0La Condamine\u00a0is the old port on the other side of the promontory; the bathing resort of\u00a0Larvotto\u00a0extends to the eastern border; and\u00a0Monte-Carlo\u00a0is in the middle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One time not to visit is during the Formula 1\u00a0Monaco Grand Prix\u00a0in May \u2013 no viewpoint is accessible without a ticket and prices soar to ridiculous levels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite all the &#8220;pecuniary particularities&#8221; one cannot simply resist the charms and allure of <em>La C\u00f4te D&#8217;Az\u00fbr<\/em>&#8230; And, if you cannot go there, one quick research shall show you all the marvels and wonders the French Riviera does hide from the mere mortals &#8211; from natural delights to paladian pumps and glories.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Post Scriptum:<\/strong><\/span><\/span> Another great excuse to visit\u00a0<em>La C\u00f4te<\/em> or simply France&#8230; the gastronomy and\u00a0<em>gourmandises<\/em>!
