Best celebrity-spotting beaches on the French Riviera

We all know that the French Riviera is a celebrity-magnet; the long stretches of beaches and the fantastic food and wine attract the likes of Elton John, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Bono, Penelope Cruz, Tina Turner, and many more.

Why do these celebs love to live on the Cote d’Azur? Is it the secluded houses? The beautiful scenery? The lovely warm weather? Or the calm private beaches along the French Riviera?

Well, if you fancy yourself a bit of celeb-spotting, here are our suggestions of which beaches to relax on:

1)      Le Neptune private beach, Monaco

Not only is Monaco a hub for the wealthy and the powerful, it is also a short hop from Eze-Sur-Mer, the home of Bono. The U2 front man lives in a private mansion with his own private beach, just 5 minutes from Monaco. Maybe you’ll catch a glimpse of him from your sun lounger!
