Known for its stunning natural beauty, rich heritage, and vibrant, open-minded communities, the French Riviera beckons with the promise of golden beaches and crystal-clear blue seas that sparkle under the sun for more than days a year.
Steeped in a rich history, this fabulous coastal strip was once a favored winter haven for British nobility and later a creative crucible for renowned authors such as Colette. It's where Grace Kelly's cinematic fairytale transformation into a European princess took place and where luminaries, including Princess Diana, sought solace.
Every May, the dazzling Cannes Film Festival illuminates the region, drawing an international crowd to its shores. While the film screenings are exclusive, the Riviera hums with excitement, presenting numerous chances for star-studded encounters on its vibrant streets and at popular eateries. But the magic of the French Riviera extends far beyond the glamour of its famed film festival. Today, we invite you to join Out Traveler on an exclusive journey to two of the Riviera's shining gems β Cannes and Antibes.
Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Sara, known for donning a long string of pearls with her bathing suit, and Gerald, the inventor of the stylish Cap d'Antibes uniform, redefined the Riviera's image with their beachside picnics and parties. In a dazzling revival that enhances its century-long legacy, the iconic Carlton Cannes, A Regent Hotel, recently flung its majestic doors open again earlier this year.
The blend of the serene sanctuary and the buzzing Croisette's energy perfectly embodies the soul of the hotel. Adding a touch of class and uniformity, the hotel staff don crisp white shirts complemented by pleated baby blue skirts, creating a striking visual ensemble that underscores the hotel's attention to detail.
