French Riviera Vacation 2008. French Riviera or the Côte d’Azur or the South of France.whatever name you use, it is fantastic! Tuesday, May 20, 2008.

The scenery looked so beautiful in the movie that we decided to see for ourselves. I want to begin by saying that the French in this region are just SO very, very warm, kind and courteous! So, I'll just keep the descriptions simple.
