"Azur" is one of the most beautiful and mysterious names in the French language. The word means "the sky or the air", and the coastline it evokes seems to indicate the meeting point between these two infinite spaces. From Menton to Lavandou, travelers will discover fine sandy beaches, rugged coves, seaside resorts, perched villages, and an infinite number of places dedicated to art in all its forms, but especially the art of living. Because along the shores of the Mediterranean, the spirit and myth of the French Riviera lives on...

Hotel and restaurant on the seafront. EXCEPTIONAL CLOSURE UNTIL MARCH 31, 2025. A blue paradise, where the only sounds to trouble the peace come from the waters in La Garoupe bay which you can reach by a tiny private path. A fine villa stands in the midst of this unique landscape, with stone pines and ochre-coloured rocks, once an inspiration to Nicolas de Staël and Picasso, and is home to this characterful hotel.

"I am from the Vendée and the Atlantic coast of France and have been running L’Oasis with my brothers Antoine and François for twenty years, yet I can assure you that I do not know a single region anything like Côte d’Azur, or one that has as much to offer as it. Where else could you, come the spring, sail down the ski slopes in the morning and go water skiing in the Mediterranean in the afternoon, after having had lunch on the terrace? The only place is right here! In La Napoule, where I am fortunate enough to work, we are close to La Croisette, Nice, Saint-Tropez as well as being close to nature, to the Var, to our hinterland. This tour is a perfect example of that. In terms of cooking, it would be a gross understatement to say that the region is rich in produce! Olive oil, tomatoes, basil, sea food…, the earth and sea are alive with it and provide the ingredients for dishes with have a reputation for being healthy and nutritious, the famous ‘Crete diet’. That will become increasingly apparent to all of you when you make a stop at the different stages of this tour, where it will be our duty to welcome you as an individual special guest."
