A longtime favorite escape of EuropeÕs elite, the Riviera coastline — stretching from burly Marseilles and the delicate cliffs of Cassis to the border of Italy — still sparkles with yachts.  In fairytale Monaco we listen to the graceful reshuffling of

personal fortunes at the casino.  Then we follow in the footsteps of 19th century

aristocrats along NiceÕs promenade des Anglais, and visit the picturesque, artist hangouts of Chagall, Matisse and Picasso.
