Nice Cannes Menton [Cote d’Azur France]

Travel through France’s Côte d’Azur, also known as the French Rivieria.

This striking map of the French Riviera focuses on the Mediterranean Coast between the port towns of St. Raphael and Menton. Nice and Cannes are other local prominent settlements also depicted within the image.

The contrasting topography is exaggerated pictorially, with simple transportation routes noted between various points. Diagramming route plans are provided between popular destinations in the lower corners. Photographs and descriptive text can also be seen on both sides.
