The French Riviera is on the Mediterranean coastline in the southeast corner of France. This coastline is one of the first modern resort areas. Its scenic beauty attracted wealthy Britishers and they used it as a winter health resort by the end of the 18th century. With the arrival of the railway, it became the vacation spot of British, Russian, and other aristocrats including Queen Victoria and King Edward VII. By the first half of the 20th century, top artists, writers, and wealthy Americans and Europeans were frequently visiting the French Riviera. After World War II, it became a popular tourist destination and convention site. Many celebrities have homes in the region. Nice is the largest city of French Riviera.
It is the center of a communauté urbane – Nice-Côte d'Azur – bringing together 24 communes and more than 500,000 inhabitants and 933,080 in the urban area. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, is France's third-busiest airport. The A8 autoroute and old main road generally known as the Route Nationale 7 run through the region. The French Riviera is a major yachting and cruising area in the World. Each year the Riviera hosts 50 percent of the world's superyacht fleet. Over 90 percent of all superyachts visit the region's coast at least once in their lifetime. A lot of sunshine throughout the year, hundreds of kilometers of coastline and beaches, numerous golf courses, ski resorts make the French Riviera the world's top tourist destination.
