After numerous requests we are allowing a number of adverts to be displayed on AMB Côte d'Azur. While our A-Z directory will continue to be free of charge we are offering a limited number of paying advertisement places on this site.

At the end of this month we will also be opening up a unique Holiday Rental section. As a porthole to the French Riviera and Provence, AMB Côte d'Azur is the perfect medium to show off your holiday apartment or villa.

Interested? Then drop us an email today!

AMB IS BACK

After several years of neglect, AMB Côte d'Azur is currently receiving some much needed TLC and will soon be sharing further insights into what is, we think, one of the most beautiful regions of France.

Villa Le Rêve

For the past ten years Villa Le Rêve has been used as an artists’ house where art, cultural and creative activities, health and well-being courses are held throughout the year. As part of our research on Matisse and his life here on the Côte d'Azur, we contacted Joëlle Audry, Villa Le Rêve’s charming caretaker, and asked if we could visit his old home. Much to our delight she accepted and we arranged our visit.

 

Notre Dame de la Garoupe

If you’ve ever visited the Grimaldi Museum in Antibes and strolled along the narrow Promenade Amiral de Grasse that hugs the contours of the coastline down to Saint-André bastion and its archaeological museum, it’s a safe bet you would have noticed the verdant Cap d’Antibes peninsula - and one of France’s most powerful lighthouses (with a range of 70 kms for boats and 200 kms for planes) perched on top of La Garoupe Hill: Phare de La Garoupe.

 

They really do say 'oh la la'

It is in the nature of neighbours to squabble, and notwithstanding the official cordiality of the past 100 years, Anglo-French relations have been known to suffer sporadic minor ruptures. These are rather stimulating occasions, traditionally marked by name-calling and foot-stamping on both sides of the channel.
