Overview
From the luxury of Monte Carlo to the artistic soul of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, every corner of the Riviera has its own distinct charm. Stroll the palm-lined Promenade des Anglais in Nice, explore the film-famous streets of Cannes, or lose yourself in the pastel-colored beauty of Menton. The region's mix of culture, history, and effortless elegance makes it an unforgettable destination.
Beyond the famous hotspots, hidden gems await—quiet hilltop villages, scenic coastal trails, and vineyards producing crisp Provençal rose. Outdoor lovers can hike along rocky cliffs or sail through azure waters, while foodies can savor fresh seafood and Michelin-starred cuisine.
Whether you are indulging in luxury or embracing the relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle, the French Riviera is pure magic. The combination of sun-drenched landscapes, rich history, and world-class hospitality makes every visit feel like a scene from a classic film.
Start your day with a relaxing walk along the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, the capital of the French Riviera. This famous seaside boulevard offers beautiful views of the azure waters, elegant hotels, and beach cafés. It’s perfect for a morning coffee with a view.
Tip: Visit the Cours Saleya Market nearby for fresh flowers, local produce, and vibrant Mediterranean atmosphere.
Wander through the narrow, colorful streets of Vieux Nice, filled with baroque churches, boutique shops, and authentic eateries. Don’t miss the Nice Cathedral and local gelato from Fenocchio, a favorite among visitors.
Tip: Climb up Castle Hill (Colline du Château) for panoramic views of Nice’s rooftops and the sparkling coastline.
Take a short ride to Monaco, the world's second-smallest country known for luxury and high society. Visit the Prince's Palace, Monte Carlo Casino, and Exotic Gardens, or simply enjoy people-watching in the stylish harbor area.
Tip: Wear comfortable shoes—Monaco has plenty of steep paths and scenic steps
Head to Èze, a charming hilltop village with winding stone paths and spectacular sea views. Visit the Exotic Garden (Jardin Exotique) and stop by the Fragonard perfumery for a free guided tour and some French-made souvenirs.
Tip: The views from the top of the village are some of the best on the Riviera—bring your camera.
If time allows, explore Cannes, famous for its international film festival. Stroll along La Croisette, the palm-lined boulevard along the beach, and window shop at luxury boutiques.
Tip: Visit Le Suquet, the old quarter of Cannes, for a quieter, more authentic experience with great views over the bay.
End your day with a delicious meal at a seaside restaurant. Sample regional specialties like Salade Niçoise, Bouillabaisse, or Socca (a savory chickpea pancake). Pair your dish with a glass of chilled rosé wine, a Riviera favorite.
Tip: Many cruise ports (like Villefranche or Nice) are near authentic bistros—ask your guide or concierge for a recommended local spot.
