And rightly so! Who doesn’t love the prospect of switching the clock to “you time”, the warmth of sunshine, enjoying favourite dishes that just don’t taste the same at home and of course discovering new places, cultures and styles.

Holidays are an endless conversation starter and not just reserved for chit-chat. Ask anyone for a recommendation and you open a vast discourse where you ultimately learn about someone’s life, friends, family, hobbies, wishes, style and aspirations.

The French Riviera holds an eternal draw, combining history, culture, exceptional vistas, international connections and an unparalleled social calendar including events such as the Cannes International Film festival, the Monaco Grand Prix and Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez.
