French Riviera - Cote D'Azur
Who has not dreamed of living on the palm-fringed, sun-blessed strip of Mediterranean coastline known as the French Riviera? Who has not dreamed of eating fine French food on the terrace of an 'auberge' overlooking the old port at Cannes? Let me help plan your trip -- or at least define the dream! 
Belles Rives, Juan les Pins
"... our big house looks onto the sea, with a private beach, the casino is hardly 100 yards away and we can look forward to a splendid summer." So wrote Scott Fitzgerald in 1926. You can live in that house. It's now a wonderful hotel!

Monaco, Monte-Carlo
Monaco... This mythic place is wedged between the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea. A proudly independent principality, free from France or Italy, with style, wealth and history. Once in your life you must stroll through the streets of the millionaires' city, Monte-Carlo.
