Tips for organising a successful christening on the Côte d’Azur

Choose the right season

The Côte d’Azur is popular in summer, but spring and autumn also offer pleasant temperatures and a more peaceful atmosphere, ideal for an intimate event.

Plan ahead

Because of the large number of tourists, it’s advisable to book the venue several months in advance to have more choice and flexibility.

Plan activities for all ages

Make sure the venue offers activities for everyone (children and adults), such as play areas or relaxation zones.

Use a local event coordinator

A local expert can help you organise the christening by coordinating the various service providers and advising you on local traditions.

Have a back-up plan in case of unpredictable weather

For an outdoor event, make sure the venue has an indoor response option in case of bad weather.
