In southeastern France, berets are traded in for bikinis, and magnificent sea-going vessels take the place of scooters as the preferred mode of transport. Or Ferraris - either works.
No matter what you're rolling, Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc will welcome you with open arms (clad in impeccably starched sleeves.) In the lobby, large white pillars hold aloft soaring ceilings. Below, blue and white furniture pieces bring to mind Delft pottery.
From each of Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc's 122 rooms, you'll look out to views of sea or gardens; taking in the scenery is free - something to be cherished in this millionaires' playground. Two villas are also available: Les Cèdres, or Villa Eleana, featuring a pool and butler services.
Gastronomic options are as plentiful as the views here, and range from French classics to casual bites. Don't miss out on the Chocolaterie, though - a substitute for pleasures you may or may not have had time to enjoy on your trip.
One last thing: the infinity pool; dug into the rock itself, and filled with clean, heated seawater, it presents an experience like no other. Last one in is a rotten egg.
