Spring has arrived in the south of France

The Riviera Times sent out an email yesterday saying that

"Dear readers

With the feeling of spring now definitely in the air it's not only the first of the sun-seeking tourists that are arriving on the French Riviera and in Monaco. A number of world class events are also attracting a whole host of international stars to our shores this month, with Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray here for the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters Tennis for example. And this is only the start, with the famous Monaco Grand Prix and Cannes Film Festival next month the celebrities will be descending en masse and eyes across the globe will turn their attention to this small corner of the Mediterranean. So, before the museums, beaches and restaurants start to swell with a throng of visitors, make the most of the relative quiet and say hello, once again, to the sun. "

Apart from these events there is also the Historic Monaco Grand Prix on the weekend of the 1st and 2nd May. More information at: http://www.cotedazurrental.com/historic_monaco_grand_prix.htm


It has been announced that The actress Kristin Scott Thomas will open the 63rd edition of the Cannes Film Festival - Festival de Cannes on May 12th. The film Robin Hood, the epic blockbuster by British director Ridley Scott, starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett is to be screened at the Opening of the 63rd Festival de Cannes on Wednesday May 12th 2010.

Hope the volcanic dust clouds are not about in May as there are a lot of people who want to get to the French Riviera for all these events.
