Mama Shelter is not your typical French hotel. Artistic, eclectic and full of personality, this boutique stay is for travellers who like a bit of fun with their comfort. The rooms are stylish and cheeky, designed by architect Benjamin El Doghaïli, who drew inspiration from artists who loved the city, like Matisse, Braque, and Picasso.

The rooftop is made for aperitifs with a view, and the hotel is just a short walk from the beach, and there’s a stunning outdoor pool if you don’t feel like leaving at all. Best of all, it’s well-priced and gives you a refreshing change from the usual Riviera style.
