Cap D'Antibes in the French Riviera, with Roman Abramovich house with pool on roof-top, in France

From the archive record

Few places are as closely associated with romanticism and glamour as the French Riviera. From Twenties tales of champagne-fuelled hedonism to the Cannes Film Festival, super yachts and celebrity sightings, this sun-soaked corner of France is all about glittering excess. For while much of the focus on the Riveria tends to be on Cannes, Monaco or Saint Tropez, it is Antibes that is home to the largest port – and so the biggest yachts – in Europe, and it is at the Hotel Du Cap that one of the biggest red-carpet events of the year, the amfAR Gala, is held.
