French Riviera NEWS
Beauty of the Blue Flag
A record number of beaches in the Côte d’Azur and on the Italian Riviera have been honoured with the Blue Flag award this year. A veritable wave of blue has descended on our corner of the Mediterranean with the 2013 list of winners including an array of local treasures from the Var and Alpes Maritimes but also recognising the many idyllic beaches of Liguria.
A total of 90 beaches in the Côte d’Azur have been handed the prestigious award. Split almost down the middle between the Var and the Alpes Maritimes, the latter has just inched ahead of its neighbouring region with 46 beaches on the list.
Nationally, France has upped its number beaches with the award and among the new additions are four beaches in the Var town of Rayol Canadel sur Mer. Today, 382 of France’s beaches are proudly flying their blue flags compared to 377 in 2012.
Just across the Franco Italian border in the coastal region of Liguria, the Italian Riviera too is celebrating a record breaking haul with 20 of its hidden coves and sweeping azure bays being awarded the world wide revered status of a Blue Flag Beach.
The Blue Flag system began almost three decades ago in France but it has since grown into a truly international establishment. Stretching across five continents, 46 countries with almost 4,000 beaches are now united by the award.
It's no easy task to attain the prized status as applicant beaches must satisfy a range of gruelling environmental, water quality, waste disposal and educational criteria, and are then judged by an international team of experts. Even at beaches that already have a Blue Flag, regular tests are carried out in order to ensure a sustained level of quality.
You can find the locations of the qualifying beaches below but good luck trying to decide which to visit first!
Var: Saint Cyr Sur Mer, Six Fours Les Plages, Saint Mandrier Sur Mer, Toulon, Le Pradet, La Londe Les Maures, Le Lavandou, Rayol Canadel Sur Mer, La Croix Valmer, Sainte Maxime
Alpes Maritimes: Cannes, Vallauris, Antibes, Villeneuve Loubet, Nice, Cap d’Ail
Liguria: Bordighera, Sanremo, San Lorenzo Al Mare, Loano, Finale Ligure, Varigotti, Noli, Bergeggi, Savona, Celle Ligure, Varazze, Sant Ambrogio, San Giacomo, Chiavari, Lavagna, Moneglia, La Spezia
