The Côte d'Azur (or French Riviera) has long been one of the great attractions for visitors to France, for the glamour, sunshine, beaches and sophistication of resorts such as Nice, Saint-Tropez and Cannes. It is a lovely region to explore, with many less known gems to discover among the more famous. To make the most of your golfing trip, and to help in your planning, you can look up the location of the best courses on the Côte d'Azur on our customised maps.
