The coast of Mediterranean sea is one of the most attractive vacation spots of Europeans at all times. Each person would like to spend a couple of weeks on the French Riviera in his own villa arranged in according to his own taste. Nearly all Russian Grand Dukes, princes, and counters came to have a rest to Côte d’Azure. There was time when Nice, the biggest city of the French Riviera, was in fact the Romanov's official residence. Therefore it is no wonder, that many streets in Côte d’Azure are named in honour of Russian Grand Dukes. You can also find the Great Orthodox Temple of Saint Nicolas in Nice.

Côte d’Azure was named as “Russian Riviera” thanks to great writer Anton Chekhov, who has met all his friends in Nice. Luxurious resorts of the French Riviera are selected by B. Bardo, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Michael Schumacher, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Elton John, Pierre Karden and many others. Jacque Chirac's has his apartments there too. However, the Frenchmen themselves don’t esteem Côte d’Azure so strongly, as they, in their country, are to speak English. All persons (who would like to have famous neighbours) are to know that the square meter price of habitation Côte d’Azure will not be less than 4-5 thousand euro. In that case the price of a villa will be 3-4 million euros, but if you would like to purchase the luxurious one you are to pay from 9 up to 15 million euros.

In spite of that fact, Nice, Cannes, San-Tropez, Monaco with its capital Monte-Carlo are considered as the most popular areas of the French Riviera.

Spain is attractive by its gentle climate; their golf camps are the best ones in Europe. The wide range of inexpensive real estate gives the possibility not only to riches, but to representatives of the middle class to purchase the real estate in Spain.

The coast Costa del Sol is considered the most amusing place of Spain. Otherwise, the Russians are interested in the real estate on Costa Brava.
Catalonia is attractive for foreigners not only by the nature, its soft climate, and the warm sea, but also it is famous by benevolence of citizens.
