Insight Guides Provence and the French Riviera

With 34 millions visitors every year, the Provence and Cote d'Azur region is the second-most visited region in France after Paris. The number of foreign visitors to France grew in 2015 despite jihadist attacks in Paris thanks to a sharp rise in tourists from Asia. France retained its crown as the world's top tourist destination with a total of 84.5 million visitors last year, an increase of 0.9 percent on 2014. (Source: yahoo/French Foreign Ministry)
