One of the most attractive destinations in the world, France's leading tourist destination for the number of international visitors after Paris. The French riviera is irresistible in so many ways: welcoming, business, climate, quality of life…
The French Riviera is an exceptional place whose history and heritage are rivaled only by the beauty of its landscapes. People work in a unique natural setting, between the Mediterranean Sea and Alpine summits, in a heavenly climate blessed with 300 days of sunshine per year.
The French Riviera's illustrious past has forged its strong Mediterranean identity. Its architecture, its luminous streets and enchanting accent, its sun-drenched cuisine are all a part of the French Riviera's unmistakingly southern culture.
The French Riviera is known and recognized for its "art de vivre" and its gastronomy with 33 restaurants having received a star by the Michelin Guide (1 three-star, 10 two-star, 22 one-star in 2007).
Event organizers are well aware that the attractiveness of the destination plays an important role in delegate and visitor attendance. Attendance at events on the French Riviera is always 20 to 30% higher than elsewhere.
