Helpful tips for traveling to the French Rivera
The best time to visit the French Riviera is from May to October, when the weather is warm, sunny, and perfect for beach days or coastal hikes. July and August are the liveliest months but also the busiest, while May, June, September, and early October offer ideal conditions with fewer crowds and lower prices.
Plan at least four to six days to experience the Riviera’s highlights—Nice, Cannes, and Monaco—while leaving time to relax by the sea or explore smaller gems like Èze, Antibes, and Saint-Paul-de-Vence. A week or more allows for scenic drives, boat trips, and leisurely beach time.
The Riviera’s cuisine celebrates the flavors of Provence and the Mediterranean. Try salade niçoise, ratatouille, and socca (crispy chickpea pancake), along with fresh seafood and rosé from nearby vineyards. Finish your meal with tarte tropézienne, a local pastry specialty from Saint-Tropez.
