Luxury hotel holidays to Cote d'Azur

Luxury holidays to Cote d'Azur: luxury hotel holidays, touring holidays and special interest holidays

An Expressions tailor-made holiday to the Côte d'Azur is an ideal destination all year round, whether for a short break out of season or for a long, lazy summer holiday. The Côte d'Azur has a magnetic attraction for the visitor from northern Europe; noted for its beautiful climate, sandy beaches, chic resorts and as home of the rich and famous, it never ceases to appeal. With its bright blue skies, shimmering heat, exotic palms and flower-scented air, open-air cafés and art galleries, the atmosphere of the region does evoke an unmistakeable joie de vivre. We believe we are offering you hotels that are either slightly tucked away from the main thoroughfares or that have irresistible charm, so that they act as a haven to which to retreat after experiencing the vibrant resorts, the beaches, the historic towns and artistic villages. A rail holiday to the Côte d'Azur is a relaxing way to travel, allowing you to travel to Nice by train before exploring the region by hire car.

Côte d'Azur travel information

Côte d'Azur is reached very easily from the UK by air and rail. Some clients choose to take their own car all the way.

British Airways fly into Nice from London. Motorail is a popular option from Calais to Nice.

Self-drive

Self-drive from Calais, the most direct route is along the motorway via Reims, Dijon and Lyon. We advise at least one, if not two overnight stops each way to cover the distance in comfort. We recommend stops in Picardy, Champagne, Burgundy and Ardeche/Drome regions.

Take Eurostar to Lille and then TGV to Nice. Hire a car if you want, or take a taxi to your hotel.
