Only French region with residents from over 163 countries. The French Riviera and its visitors enjoy an un-heard of multicultural environment, synonymous with a warm welcome and openness.
Traditionally a land of welcome, the French Riviera is a melting pot for all cultures. The presence of foreign companies has helped foster this invaluable multicultural backdrop.
This mix of cultures and languages has become a way of life on the French Riviera. 12% of the population is of foreign origin, mainly Anglophone, or one out of every eight residents. English is "de rigueur" and the mixture of languages is not uncommon.
Services provided in foreign languages by banks or real estate agencies, newspapers and radios and of course schools and universities are not lacking, contributing to the region's climate of openness and exchange.
As a result, the local population is patient and understanding when it comes to communication. People here are comfortable with this melting pot of cultures and languages and have an unreserved sense of welcoming foreigners.
