The Riviera region of the Mediterranean stretches from France to Monte Carlo to Italy. This area has been a vacation destination for years, and cruise ships often include a Riviera port of call on Mediterranean cruises. Here are some photos from a few of the cities and town near the Riviera.

Monte Carlo, Monaco

Monte Carlo- Renaissance VII - I made this picture of the Renaissance VII moored in the harbor at Monte Carlo.

Monte Carlo- Harbor View - Picture of the marina taken from near the Prince's Palace in Monaco.

Monte Carlo- Anti Nudity Sign? - Obviously the lack of dress on the French Riviera is not supposed to spill over into the villages and towns along the sea.

Monte Carlo- Cathedral - An exterior view of the cathedral where Grace Kelly was married and buried.

Monte Carlo- Prince's Palace - An exterior view of the Prince's Palace with the flag of Monaco flying over head.

Monte Carlo- Prince's Palace - Changing of the Guard

Monte Carlo- Grand Casino - This building is gorgeous on the outside and the inside.

Eze on the French Riviera

French Riviera- Eze - Spectacular view of the Cote d'Azur taken from the gardens at Eze.

French Riviera- Eze - Spices for Sale. Colorful photo! You can almost smell the spices.

French Riviera- Eze - View of countryside. This picture gives you an idea of the climb you'll need to make up into the village of Eze.

Marseille and Provence, France

Marseille, France - Who would have ever thought a reservoir dam could be so beautiful?

Aix-en-Provence, France -This is a lovely city. Wish we could have stayed longer than the half-day shore excursion.

Cannes, France - Cruise Port of Call on the French Riviera - More than just the Film Festival

St. Paul de Vence - French City on a Hill - Shore excursion from Cannes or Nice
