Exposed on Mar Ligure, it is featured by skyscrapers, by the very well-known Casinò, by yachts moored in the harbour and by roads populated of exclusive cars.

Cannes, home of Festival del Cinema, set of Hitchcock and of its masterpiece "To Catch a Thief", it is one of the pearl of Cot d’Azur. A city to enjoy, which speaks the language of culture and glamor, fun and beauty of places. Exclusive beaches and walks along the Croisette or Rue d'Antibes for shopping.

Nice, the capital of the French Riviera, thanks to the sweetness of its Mediterranean climate, is an ideal destination even during the winter. A city to discover: modern and constantly moving, it offers an animated cultural and economic life.

It is 1956 when Roger Vadim directs Brigitte Bardot in "Et Dieu créa la femme", an iconic film that will change the destiny not only of BB but also of Saint Tropez until then a quiet fishing village that from then on will become a place internationally renowned and a meeting point for jet-set from all over the world.
