A clean and comfortable Mediterranean town located in the southeastern part of France, next to Italy. The border runs almost within the resort area, so you can get there on foot in just half an hour. In the western part, the resort is adjacent to the Principality of Monaco, and from the north it is covered by the majestic Alps.

The temperature of warm summer air periodically rises to +35 °С, while in winter the thermometer readings fluctuate around +10 °С. The healthy climate of the "Garden of Eden" contributes to the prevention of various lung diseases.
Beaches
Entrance to all resort beaches is free, but you will have to fork out for the use of a sun lounger and umbrella. Coastal strips are covered with polished pebbles or golden sand. The sea surface has a sky-blue hue, characteristic of the entire Cote d'Azur.
Holidays with children are best spent on small pebble areas - du Fossan and portside des Sablettes. Sea breakwaters knock down high waves, children's playgrounds have been built on the coast, rescue points are working. Nearby, pontoons sway, from which divers like to jump into the sea.
A small Hawaii beach will appeal to tourists enjoying outdoor activities. The absence of breakwaters generates rather high waves. There are many surfers among the beach visitors who are rapidly sliding down from the sea breakers.
The favorite place for the townspeople is the beach area du Borrigo.

For vacationers with physical disabilities, the du Casino beach area is available with a full range of conditions for a comfortable stay.
