Why go to Cote d'Azur & Provence?
Best known for its sun-drenched beaches and chic resorts such as Cannes and St Tropez, the Cote d'Azur remains a great family holiday option with a wide variety of accommodation on offer and much to explore besides the beach life – from bustling markets to ancient sites and watersports.


Babygoes2 recommends properties which are suitable for babies or toddlers for a variety of reasons (go to first stop). None of these properties however is 100% child-safe. All of the property descriptions are the opinion of BabyGoes2 and not the individual property owner or tour operator. Prices, while as accurate as possible, are for guidance only.
