The Côte d’Azur has attracted artists since the 19th century, and the unique microclimate and glowing light which brought Monet, Matisse, Chagall and Picasso to the Riviera makes this the perfect destination for an elegant Christmas escape. We stay at the iconic Hotel Negresco (5*), which epitomises the glamour and elegance of Old Nice. Our itinerary will include not only the most important museums and galleries in Nice, Antibes and St Paul-de-Vence, but also exquisite French cuisine, including a dinner on Christmas Eve in the hotel’s Royal Salon, Christmas lunch at the wonderful Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, and Boxing Day lunch at La Colombe d’Or, where paintings by Matisse, Picasso, Braque and Chagall adorn the walls.
