The Côte d’Azur stands for glamour and luxury, for film festivals and stars, for yachts and villas. The most famous personalities of the last century met here. The Côte owes its unique mythos to their loves and passions.
The Côte d’Azur boasts a breathtakingly gorgeous landscape. But its mythos is more than the sum of its beautiful parts. The whole world associates the narrow coastal strip on the French Mediterranean coast with sun, stars and scandals.
In Saint Tropez, a former fishing town, a new and newly sensual art of living was popularized thanks to the young Brigitte Bardot. On the eastern part of the coast, Oscar winner Grace Kelly conquered the principality of Monaco with her marriage to Prince Rainier. The matchmaker? The Greek shipowner Aristotle Onassis, who wanted to burnish the dwarf state’s image.
One of the most glamorous film festivals in the world was established in Cannes. After that, it seemed everyone came to the Côte. At the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, the paths of the famous crossed again and again. For 150 years the hotel has been home to artists, queens and kings, divas and stars. Since 1969, the hotel has been owned by the German industrialist family Oetker. Maja Oetker describes her personal memories of the past 50 years.
To this day, the Côte d’Azur has lost none of its appeal. It is more than just a place: it is an entire mythos.

Ahh, memories! I spent 3 summers in a row at a summer camp/resort a 20 min walk from Monaco. CMEF. It was fantastic. 3h of language lessons Mo-Fri and then freedom amongst the French Riviera.
My god did I have fun then. Diving, climbing, surfing, kayaking, sailing, dancing, gambling…beautiful young women from rich families. Quite a few Americans who loved the glitz and glamour of very formal and polite young men from the capitals of Europe.
Tears come to my eyes just thinking about it. It's been a decade since I've been there.
Hello. Why this Documentary not published in arabic Dw Documentary. You should.

If they want to nuke something nuke that place :/
A trashy voyeuristic documentary about
trashy rich people ….
Obviously never been to Southend on Sea…
Poor Grace looks so miserable at that wedding. I wonder what they did to her 💔
Why do they need hand fans? Don't they have air-conditioning?
Thank you for sharing..
Relaxing seduction is the real definition of a vacation, is it not. Vacations are overrated , just get a big box of booze and stay home, mow your own yard, take pride in that. Learn how to barbecue . It is really good for meating your neighbors and practicing survival skills.
Mafia poker home 🙂
French Riviera is no-go zone for poor people.
The Oetker family. I wonder where their money came from….. (1933-1945 should give you a clue)
Monaco. Still a pirates nest.
Excellent documentary!
Really a lovely luxury documentary
Sure those Russian left behinds went to the red cross. And NO survivors of the Russian revolution came and tried to get their stuff? Sure Jan….
there are gaps in the story………..
Great documentary!
I've never visited the sites of Europe, London England was bad enough and I couldn't leave the place fast enough. Mind you, I accompanied my daughter and her husband who both have no interest in anything outside of making money – lots of it. Their loss.
Eat the Rich!
6:08 Proof that russians are best at partying
When money speaks nobody is interested in the grammar.
bullshit this time dw, do some real work
My father donated to the Red Cross.. Yeah, right..😂🤣
Eintritt eines Notfalls
Lol. There is a sucker born every minute. They count on it.
Post war marks the Golden year of Boomer… They are optimistic, greedy and avid hoarder… Thank you DW!
