Overlooking the picturesque harbour of St Louis is the charming little hotel La Corniche. Balconied rooms look out across the Mediterranean, and there are two fine restaurants and perhaps the region's finest oyster bar. The hotel gives quick access to the estates of Côtes de Provence, Bandol and Coteaux Varois, and we arrange visits to wineries such as Domaine Chaberts, St André de Figuière, Terrebrune and Tempier. Opportunities to shop in Nice, or to walk along the numerous coastal and hill trails all contribute to make this getaway a memorable one.
