Top stops on a French Rivera itinerary
Nice
The unofficial capital of the French Riviera, Nice blends seaside elegance with authentic Mediterranean spirit.

Cannes
Famous for its film festival and golden beaches, Cannes pairs glamour with Provençal charm. Walk the red-carpeted steps of the Palais des Festivals, explore the boutiques along La Croisette, and escape to the tranquil Îles de Lérins just offshore. In Cannes, every moment feels cinematic.
Monaco
A tiny principality with outsized allure, Monaco is all luxury and spectacle. Visit the Prince’s Palace, try your luck at the legendary Casino de Monte-Carlo, and watch yachts glimmer in the harbor. For sweeping sea views, head up to the Jardin Exotique or stroll the cliffside paths of the old town.
Saint-Tropez
Once a sleepy fishing village, Saint-Tropez became a jet-set favorite for its style and sunshine. Wander the harbor lined with cafés and designer shops, relax on Pampelonne Beach, or explore the cobbled streets of the old quarter. Its blend of sophistication and seaside charm is pure Riviera magic.
Èze
Perched high above the Mediterranean, Èze is one of the Riviera’s most picturesque hilltop villages. Lose yourself in its narrow stone alleys, visit the exotic garden overlooking the coast, and stop by the Fragonard perfume factory for a touch of local craftsmanship and scent.
Antibes
With its ancient ramparts, sandy beaches, and lively markets, Antibes captures the Riviera’s easygoing elegance. Discover Picasso’s works at the Château Grimaldi, stroll the marina filled with yachts, and enjoy a glass of rosé as the sun sets over the old port.
Menton
Known as the “Pearl of France,” Menton offers pastel-colored facades, citrus-scented gardens, and a relaxed atmosphere on the Italian border. Visit during the Lemon Festival in February, or simply savor the Riviera pace along its tranquil promenade.
Villefranche-sur-Mer
Nestled between Nice and Monaco, this colorful harbor town is one of the Riviera’s hidden treasures. Its deep-blue bay shelters fishing boats and luxury yachts alike, while its old town charms with narrow streets, seaside terraces, and views that feel straight out of a postcard.
Cap-Ferrat
A quiet peninsula of villas and pine forests, Cap-Ferrat is all about understated luxury. Walk the coastal paths for breathtaking sea views, tour the opulent Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and its gardens, and enjoy a peaceful escape just minutes from the bustle of Nice and Monaco.
Grasse
Set in the hills above Cannes, Grasse is the world’s perfume capital. Learn the art of fragrance-making at a historic perfumery, stroll through flower fields in bloom, and discover a side of the Riviera where craftsmanship and nature come together beautifully.
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.
