French Riviera"The French Riviera (known in French as the Côte d´Azur [kot dazyʁ]; Occitan: Còsta d´Azur [ˈkɔstɔ daˈzyʀ]; literal translation "Azure Coast") is the Mediterranean coastline of the southeast corner of France. There is no official boundary, but it is usually considered to extend from Cassis, Toulon or Saint-Tropez on the west to Menton at the France–Italy border in the east, where the Italian Riviera joins. The coast is entirely within the Provence-Alpes-Côte d´Azur region of France. The Principality of Monaco is a semi-enclave within the region, surrounded on three sides by France and fronting the Mediterranean. Riviera is an Italian word that corresponds to the ancient Ligurian territory, wedged between the Var and Magra rivers. The "Côte d´Azur" is a nickname given by Stéphen Liégeard, a French writer, in his novel La Côte d´azur, to describe the coast between Marseilles and Genoa." - (en.wikipedia.org 22.09.2020) France
