For those who wish to indulge in some glamorous nightlife, there are plenty of high-end bars and clubs in the French Riviera where exorbitant bottle-service prices, tight door policies, and a crowd made up of models, actors, athletes, and wealthy business people are the norm.
A night spent in a swanky lounge in this gilded paradise can be reminiscent of a fashion show or Hollywood movie premiere, and usually includes moving on to the late-night clubs to dance until dawn.
Besides the club scene, invite-only parties see French Riviera jetsetters living it up at the rooftop bars above five-star hotels or on the decks of formidable yachts docked in the harbor.
Yet more accessible and affordable options exist as well, from the bars and lounges in Nice with their international flair to the casual but animated pubs in Antibes, it’s usually easy to find a spirited party taking place in a variety of settings. No matter which bars and clubs, lounges, or pubs people find themselves in, after last call it’s not uncommon for everyone to continue the festivities on the beach.
