The ever-glossy world of Emily in Paris is about to get a Riviera upgrade. After turning Parisian cafés and Roman streets into global backdrops, the hit Netflix series is now heading to the ultra-luxurious shores of Monaco. According to an exclusive report from Variety, confirmed during a panel at PaleyFest on April 10, filming for season six will take place not only in Greece but also in Monaco—marking a new chapter for the series’ ever-expanding European footprint.

Monte-Carlo Fashion Week returns from 14 to 18 April 2026 , transforming the Principality of Monaco into a showcase of international design, sustainability innovation, and high-fashion spectacle. Across five days, the official fashion event blends runway shows, industry conferences, a dedicated fashion hub, and a gala ceremony hosted in some of Monaco’s most iconic venues. The week begins on Tuesday 14 April with an official opening ceremony at the Mairie, where Mayor George

From April 24–26, 2026, the streets of Monaco will once again echo with the unmistakable roar of vintage engines as the 15th edition of the Monaco Historic Grand Prix brings motorsport history vividly back to life. This isn’t just a race weekend—it’s a full-throttle tribute to more than a century of racing heritage, staged on one of the most iconic circuits in the world. One of the biggest shifts this year comes thanks to updated regulations from the Fédération International

On paper, the €105 million sale of the Palais Vénitien in Cannes looks like a triumphant headline—a record-breaking transaction, a palace finally finding its owner after nearly a decade. But beneath the spectacle lies something far more revealing about the reality of ultra-prime real estate on the French Riviera. This wasn’t just a sale. It was a lesson in patience, positioning, and the limits of even the world’s most exclusive property market. More Palace Than Property The P

If you’re picturing that romantic moment—passport in hand, a crisp stamp marking your arrival in France—you might want to update the script. As of April 2026, stepping into Europe feels less like a scene from a travel diary and more like entering a high-tech checkpoint. Welcome to the new reality of arriving in France. A New First Impression: Cameras, Kiosks, and Quiet Efficiency The European Union has officially rolled out its Entry/Exit System (EES) across the Schengen Zone

There’s a particular kind of regret that follows people along the French Riviera. It usually sounds like this: “We almost bought last year.” In a market like the Côte d’Azur, “almost” can cost you six figures. A Post-Pandemic Shift That Hasn’t Slowed Down Since the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, something fundamental changed in how people prioritize their lives. Travel surged—but more importantly, so did intention. Visitors didn’t just come for a holiday; they came imagini

This spring, Monaco is set to once again blur the lines between gallery walls and city streets as Monaco Art Week returns for its 8th edition. Scheduled from April 27 to May 1, 2026, the event is shaping up to be one of the Principality’s most dynamic cultural showcases to date. More than just an art fair, Monaco Art Week transforms the entire city into a curated experience. From Monte-Carlo to La Condamine and the Larvotto waterfront, galleries, auction houses, and cultura

On 6 May 2026, an extraordinary slice of southern French heritage will come to market as Château Haute Germaine is offered for sale by auction—presenting a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most expansive and private estates in the Alpes-Maritimes. Set just 25 kilometres from Nice and within easy reach of Monaco, this remarkable Provençal domain combines historic charm, sweeping scale, and a level of seclusion seldom found so close to the Mediterranean coastline. With bi

As the warmer months approach, the familiar wave of travel content begins to flood our social media feeds—sun-drenched terraces, perfectly framed coastlines, and curated itineraries promising to show you the best of the French Riviera in just a few days. It’s inspiring, no doubt. But it’s also worth approaching some of this advice with a thoughtful eye. If you’re planning a trip to this remarkable stretch of coastline, one of the kindest things you can do for yourself is a bi

On the surface, it was the kind of life the French Riviera sells to the world: luxury, appearances, and effortless wealth. But according to a report by Nice-Matin , a young couple living the high-flying “jet-set” lifestyle on the Côte d’Azur is now facing legal trouble for something far less glamorous — allegedly failing to pay their rent. A stunning villa on the heights of Villefranche-sur-Mer of over 350m² with contemporary lines, overlooking the billionaires' peninsula of

Yesterday was one of those quiet Riviera mornings that feels almost staged—soft light, calm sea, and the kind of stillness that only exists before the season fully wakes up. Walking back home from Villefranche-sur-Mer yesterday, I took the seaside route along the beach toward Beaulieu-sur-Mer, skirting the edge of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat where a row of extraordinary waterfront villas sits quietly behind walls and hedges. The kind of homes that don’t announce themselves—and don’

When Monaco gets busy, it doesn’t just get crowded—it gets clogged . So for 2026, the principality is doubling down on a simple but surprisingly effective idea: if you want fewer cars on the road, make public transport impossible to resist. That’s exactly what’s happening. During the biggest events of the year, Monaco will once again make its entire bus network free to use—no tickets, no barriers, no excuses. Turning Gridlock Into Flow This isn’t a random perk for tourists.

Every spring, the glittering shores of Saint-Tropez trade quiet luxury for wind, speed, and raw maritime intensity—and in April 2026, the stakes are higher than ever. The PAPREC 600 regatta returns from April 17 to 25, promising a full week where passion for sailing takes center stage and the Mediterranean becomes a battleground. At the heart of the event lies a formidable challenge: a 600-nautical-mile non-stop course that pushes sailors to their physical and strategic limi

Recently, on a sunny morning in Nice, I sat down with Fabricio Carminati, Director of French Riviera House Hunting , for a podcast interview for Riviera Buzz. What started as a casual conversation quickly turned into an insightful deep dive into the realities of navigating the Riviera’s competitive property market. While the region is filled with agencies, finding the right  property – one that truly matches lifestyle, budget, and location – is a far more nuanced process. Fo

There are royal weddings—and then there is the moment a Hollywood fairytale rewrote the destiny of a nation. Seventy years after Prince Rainier III married Grace Kelly, Monaco is preparing to commemorate a union that didn’t just captivate the world—it transformed the principality itself. When Grace Kelly arrived on April 12, 1956, to wed the prince just days later, the global frenzy was immediate and unprecedented. Dubbed the “Wedding of the Century,” the ceremony drew more t

Perched in the quiet hills of the Côte d’Azur, La Ravanelle offers a version of the South of France that feels deeply personal and refreshingly unfiltered. Rather than leaning into spectacle, it invites guests into a more grounded experience—one shaped by nature, light, and a sense of calm that defines the region at its most authentic. The property presents itself as a private haven, thoughtfully arranged for bespoke stays and small-scale gatherings. Everything about it—from

Perched dramatically above the Mediterranean, the Château de l'Anglais is one of those places where architecture, colonial history, and Riviera mythology collide in a way that feels almost cinematic. A 19th-century fantasy on the Côte d’Azur Built between 1856 and 1858 by Colonel Robert Smith, the château reflects a very particular 19th-century fascination: the European obsession with the “exotic.” After decades in India with the East India Company, Smith returned to Europe

Every summer, the glittering Principality of Monaco transforms into one of Europe’s most exclusive live-music destinations with the return of the Monte-Carlo Summer Festival—a celebration of global stardom, elegance, and unforgettable performances under the Mediterranean sky. A season of glamour and world-class music Running from early July to mid-August 2026, the festival once again takes over two of Monaco’s most iconic venues: the open-air Salle des Étoiles and the opulent

The Fight AIDS Monaco Gala returns this summer as one of the most meaningful highlights of the Monte-Carlo Summer Festival—an evening where music, purpose, and emotion come together in unforgettable fashion. On July 11, the iconic Salle des Étoiles will set the stage for “God Save the Queen,” a powerful tribute celebrating the legendary music of Queen while honoring the enduring legacy of Freddie Mercury. More than just a performance, the show carries deep symbolic weight—M

There’s something in the air along the French Riviera—and it’s not just the sea breeze or the light. It’s an unmistakable entrepreneurial energy that quietly encourages you to take a chance on yourself. For those considering a move here, especially with a business idea in mind, this region doesn’t just welcome ambition—it nurtures it. There’s a rare balance: a relaxed, sun-soaked lifestyle paired with an unspoken belief that building something meaningful isn’t just acceptable
