The French Riviera is an artists’ dream, boasting some of the best views in the world. The colour of the cloudless sky is in stark contrast to the turquoise hue of the sea, with the light that shines on the canvas taking on a quality which is quite unlike other illumination on this earth.
No holiday in the South of France would be complete without an apero on the terrace underneath a shade sail whilst enjoying the warm evening light.
For those of us who have spent even the shortest of time on the Cote d’Azur, the picture will be a familiar one: a day spent on the beach or by the pool, before returning to a villa and a bottle of chilled Rosé and perhaps a few apero nibbles.
But from where did this enviable habit come and why has it become so entrenched in the lives of those living and holidaying in the South of France?

Summer has arrived on the Cote d’Azur almost overnight after a disappointing and dismal May, so it’s important to make sure you have the right sun protection for your homes.
