 ====== Equestrian Côte d'Azur ======
-The [[wp>French_Riviera|Côte d'Azur]] carries a reputation built on beaches, casinos, and film festivals, but its equestrian culture runs deep and wide. From the Roman city of Cemenelum on the hills above Nice — where cavalry cohorts once trained in the amphitheatre now surrounded by olive trees — through the aristocratic stable yards of Belle Époque Cimiez to the glittering spectacle of the [[wp>Longines_Global_Champions_Tour|Longines Global Champions Tour]] at Monaco's Port Hercule, the horse has been a constant presence along this coast. Today the region supports a network of riding clubs and trail operations that spans the full range of landscapes available to it: the coastal strip, the forested pre-Alpine hills, the high valleys of the [[wp>Mercantour_National_Park|Mercantour]], and the volcanic red massif of the [[wp>Massif_de_l'Estérel|Estérel]] to the west. Competition at the highest international level takes place here each summer; at the same time, a beginner can mount a gentle horse within twenty minutes of Nice city centre and find themselves in open country.
