The French Riviera has been the benchmark for glamorous coastal travel since the 1920s, and it still delivers — colourful old towns, beach clubs, and a coastal drive that’s genuinely one of the best in Europe.
Suggested Route (5–6 Days)
- Days 1–2 — Nice: The Promenade des Anglais, the old town’s markets, and a pebble beach afternoon.
- Day 3 — Cannes: The Croisette, the old quarter, and the harbour’s superyachts.
- Day 4 — Monaco: The Monte Carlo Casino, the Prince’s Palace, and the famous harbour.
- Days 5–6 — Èze or Saint-Paul-de-Vence: Clifftop or hilltop medieval villages just inland.
