Comment

The French Riviera, known in French as the Côte d'Azur, is the Mediterranean coast of southeastern France. There is no official border, but it is generally considered to extend from Toulon, Le Lavandou or Saint-Tropez in the west to Menton on the French-Italian border in the east. The entire coastline is part of France's Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The Principality of Monaco is a semi-enclave within the region, surrounded on three sides by France and facing the Mediterranean. Riviera is an Italian word for the ancient Ligurian territory, wedged between the Var and Magra rivers. The Côte d'Azur or French Riviera, is a nickname given by France to the county of Nice after its annexation in 1860, because the rain and Mistral (southern French cold wind) were stopped by the Alps and the climate was similar to that of northern Italy, even in winter, with a sky as blue as its sea, the French Riviera. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Riviera
