The French Riviera is strategically located between the Italian Riviera, the Alps, and Provence. Getting here from all major European capitals and the rest of the world is easy thanks to its international airport.
The Nice Côte d'Azur International Airport is France's first biggest after Paris. With more than 10 million passengers in 2007, it represents a strategic link to thirty countries including twenty European capitals.
Led by Air France and EasyJet, 51 airlines account for 1280 weekly flights and up to 600 flights per day, including more than thirty to Paris alone.
The Nice Côte d’Azur airport is the only French airport, besides Paris, to offer transatlantic routes and direct flights to New York.
Moreover, the significant number of low cost companies, representing one third of all flights, is a major asset for meetings.
Nice has flights to 76 international destinations including Dubai or Riyadh with connections to the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.
Other meeting industry assets include helicopter transfers to Sophia-Antipolis, Cannes, or Monaco. With nearly 70 flights a day, the Nice-Monaco route is the world's most popular.
The Cannes Mandelieu Airport, France's leading business airport after Paris Le Bourget, is the destination of choice for private jets and commercial planes with companies such as Flying Group, Dynamic Jet Travel, Rath Aviation, Eurojet and more.
Finally, the French Riviera can be reached by fast and direct highway networks (A8, Paris, Lyon, Barcelona). Rail connections with all major national and international destinations: high-speed and express trains (TGV, Corail trains) connect the French Riviera to all French regions and all major European cities.
