  • Laid out around the casino (see Casino de Monte Carlo) these are classic 19th-century gardens, with trim lawns and water features.

  • The club offers windsurfing, dinghy and catamaran sailing and yacht charters for all levels, with crewed yachts available by arrangement.

  • This formal garden is a triumph of Zen horticulture and a striking contrast to the classic gardens of the Riviera.

  • Laid out by English expatriate Lord Radcliffe in 1905, this garden is planted with sub-tropical shrubs. Visits by arrangement with the Maison du Patrimoine.

  • The exotic gardens planted around the clifftop village offer superb views over the sea.

  • The largest collection of succulent rock plants in the world. Within the gardens is a 60-m (200-ft) deep cave with spectacular limestone formations.

  • A huge family aquapark with 12 chutes, a wave pool and several swimming pools including one for toddlers (see Marineland, Antibes).

  • Perhaps not the most luxurious beach in Cannes, but it is no more crowded than the pay beaches and it’s free.

  • Many rare plants can be seen in this park, with its 11 km (7 miles) of walking trails and fresh-water lagoon.

  • Palm and olive groves and a small lake surround 4,000 roses planted in memory of Princess Grace of Monaco, who died in a car accident.
