Alpes-Maritimes

The appropriately named Alpes-Maritimes is in the extreme southeast of France and bordered by Liguria in Italy to the east and the départements of Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Var in the west. Its inhabitants are known as Maralpins or Azuréens after the Côte-d’Azur.

The population in 2016 was about 1.1 million and the land area is 4299 square km. The capital city or prefecture is Nice and Grasse is the sub-prefecture.

The Alpes-Maritimes is more or less synonymous with the old County of Nice or Contea da Nizza which was part of the Kingdom of Sardinia and as a result much of the region is very Italianate.

Nice is the capital town of the Alpes-Maritimes and also the main town of the French Riviera. Also dotted along the Riviera are the fabulous resorts of Menton, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Monaco-Monte-Carlo.
