The South of France is known for its stunning Mediterranean coastline, charming villages, exquisite cuisine, and vibrant cultural heritage. The French Riviera always seemed like a place out of the movies and story books - almost too good to be true. I lived in France for a short while, and of course made it to the infamous Cote d’Azure to soak in the Mediterranean sun and the beautiful energy of the location. I found the French Riviera to be one of the most beautiful places I’ve visited, as it is truly where my two loves meet: the mountains and the sea. I still remember the feeling of waking up before the sunrise, sitting on the balcony, and watching the sun slowly creep up over the horizon, throwing diamonds across the sea, illuminating the majestic Alps, before they slowly decent into the sea. My time in the South of France was unforgettable.

I stayed at The Originals Hotel, perfectly located in the beautiful town of Beaulieu-sur-Mer. I spent time exploring Nice, Villefranche-sur-mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, and the surrounding areas - all which were packed with decadent cuisine, friendly shops, and the most beautiful sights.
