In a part of the world that’s already incredibly relaxing and laid-back, the lounges in the French Riviera are merely an extension of the desire to hang out and enjoy some of the most pristine settings on the planet.
When thinking about French Riviera lounges, the first thing that obviously comes to mind is the high-end scene – and for good reason, because there are some great chichi spots all over the Mediterranean. In both Cannes and Nice, the lounges offer their clientele everything from ocean-side views with champagne flutes to white-curtained daybeds with tableside hookahs.
But it’s not all Egyptian cotton and Veuve Clicquot in Côte d’Azur as there are plenty of budget friendly lounges in Nice and Cannes as well – especially for those who want to take a date to a lounge without breaking the bank. And if you’re looking for some live music to chill out to or just a conversational friendly spot, the Riviera has plenty of those too.
After a long day of sun-tanning, beach-bumming, and shopping, there’s no better way to end the day than in the multitude of relaxing lounges all over the French Riviera.
