The Riviera stretches between Cannes, France, and La Spezia, Italy. Sheltered to the north by the Maritime Alps, the district enjoys abundant sunshine throughout the year. In Canberra, our winters may not be as mild, but our summers have their own charm – captured here lakeside at Lotus Bay in Yarralumla. Plus, you don’t have to hop on a plane to look the part.
