This is our choice of the TOP 10 on the Côte d'Azur! Some classics, but also some of our very own favorite things to see and do. What are your favorites?!
We just arrived from our French Riviera holidays, and so sad we didnt have time anymore to see Menton ,Eze and Saint Tropez! Maybe we need to have a comeback as we love it very much especially our night swimming in the Nice beach and swimming in the olympic size swimming pool of Monaco!❤❤😊😊
Really great video. I've been to all those places and you highlighted the best of the best. A lot of people don't realize that before Nice was part of France, it was part of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Italy. Hence, most of the buildings in Nice are Italianate architecture.
Great video on the highlights of the French Riviera. You have done a great job in capturing the unique aspects of each of the areas along the coast and it’s been a helpful guide to help me plan my upcoming trip. Thanks!
If you have a full week, you can probably squeeze it all in! It really depends what you prefer: city vibes, laid back villages, going to the beach… The things we’ve shown in this video are what we would show our friends that visit, our top picks.
Hello. Thank you again for your beautiful and informative videos! They are incredibly helpful as we research and plan our trip! We will be visiting Nice in mid July. We plan to visit Monaco and Eze. If we should only have time for one or two additional day trips, would you please share your recommendations? Also, do you have a list of your favorite restaurants and activities? Thank you, again!
Hi Noelle, thanks a lot for your message! If you want to see another city it should probably be Cannes or Antibes. Grasse is great if you want to visit a perfumery. Menton is also beautiful. For all of the mentioned cities you probably only need a couple hours to discover, so you could spend the rest of the day on the beach or, if you go to Grasse, visit some surrounding villages (Gourdon, Cabris, St. Cézaire, Tourrette-sur-Loup). We like the many villages a lot, too. Try to get dinner on one of the village squares, the evenings in July just make you want to sit on a terrace and enjoy the still warm air. As for restaurants in Nice: we have a video coming up today! 🤩 Have a great trip!!!
@@rivierago THANK YOU very much for your reply and for all of the information! We appreciate your help! We look forward to watching the video about restaurant recommendations! Thank you again!
Love this video.Avoid the quiet side streets that lead to the train station and stick to main roads with lots of people as otherwise, you may encounter pickpockets and muggers and people pretending to be police who will ask to see your passport and then attempt to rob you! Don´t carry lots of cash.
Great video! We’re visiting in June for 3 days, you think we can do Nice, Cannes and Monaco? I see people recommending bus tours, any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Hi, thanks! Yes, one if these places each day is perfectly doable! Depending on where you stay it’s probably easiest to take the train. There are also regular buses connecting the cities, but it takes longer (while it’s cheaper). We’re not sure about bus tours - looks like we have to look into it! 😅
@@rivierago oh thank you for your reply!! Any recommendations where to stay and must see in all 3 cities? We have 2kids tagging along 😅. Again thank you for your help and btw your video by far is the most and in depth guide among all the others I saw, so great job!! You got a happy subscriber 😁. Bonne journée!
@@naderg2 Thanks again for the compliment! Nice is kind of in the middle, so probably a good place to stay (though Cannes is cozier and has sandy beach). If you don't have a car while here, the interior is difficult. From Nice and all the other coastal cities, you can catch the train or buses. For what to do in those 3 cities please have a look at the "Top 10 things to do" videos we've done for all 3 of them. Depending on the age of the kids they might like Marineland in Antibes (marine theme parc), any beach, renting kayaks...
Your videos are wonderful. We are planning to visit Nice in November 2024. Your videos are helping us plan our stay. Do you offer any guide services for money?
Nice is not huge, so it's easy to find a place within 2 km of the beach and/or the old town. If you do, you can reach most places of interest on foot. If you're a bit further away, there's public transport. If you want to walk mostly, choose a place within a 2 km radius around the old town. The old town itself can be kind of noisy until late at night, maybe have that in mind.
Will ne travelling in June. Was planning to do 8 nights in nice and day trips to cannes, monaco. Is tht ok or do u suggest 4 nights in nice and 4 in cannes?
@@gauravjaggi5098 If it’s not possible to find a place according to your budget in Cannes, you can definitely stay in Nice and do all trips from there. But in June you might be able to find affordable places (eg via Airbnb) in Cannes. (To be honest, we don’t have a lot of experience with hotel prices, the offer in Nice is bigger than in Cannes for sure and probably cheaper in general, and the waterfront hotels in Cannes are definitely very expensive)
I am in love with all of your videos! My head is spinning with so many wonderful ideas, but I will only be in the riviera for 5 nights/4 days. That said, we thought of eating at le plongeoir which I see pictured. Is there another restaurant which may have even better food with an equally breathtaking view? The food reviews are inconsistent and I’m afraid it may be cold mid October. Thank you so much!
Thank you! 🙏😊 Will you be in Nice? Mid October is great for lunch outdoors, evenings should be possible close to the sea with a sweater on. Further inland it gets too chilly in the evening. Depending on where you stay we’ll try to come up with a few specific restaurant ideas!
@@mattyt3663 ok, here we go… if you’re willing to spend some money, you can’t go wrong with Michelin starred restaurants. Château Eza in Eze has 1 star and offers these beautiful views. Same as “La chèvre d’Or” in Eze. The Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat has great restaurants. In Monaco we recently discovered “Mona Restaurant”, great food, but no particular view. Great food also in all of Monaco’s top hotels such as Hotel de Paris, Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel, Hermitage, Le Metropole, Monte-Carlo Beach Hotel, … So these were rather pricey options. In Nice you’ll find great food at better prices. Hotel Negresco has a great restaurant (again not cheap, though). We loved La Merenda (closed Sat/Sun), great food at correct prices. The beach restaurants usually serve good food, too (won’t be open at night in October probably). Since we live closer to Cannes, we haven’t tried many restaurants in Nice, unfortunately…. really mostly the ones that we talk about in the restaurant video - where we actually asked friends to tell us where they like to get food in Nice.

You talked a beautiful story about a French Riviera. I hope you will give a more interesting places at Riviera.
What were you thinking about? 😳
Really great video. I've been to all those places and you highlighted the best of the best. A lot of people don't realize that before Nice was part of France, it was part of the Kingdom of Sardinia, Italy. Hence, most of the buildings in Nice are Italianate architecture.
Thank you very much! 🙏🤩 yep, the old towns of Nice and Grasse are the most Italian looking
Great video on the highlights of the French Riviera. You have done a great job in capturing the unique aspects of each of the areas along the coast and it’s been a helpful guide to help me plan my upcoming trip. Thanks!
Wonderful, thank you - that’s what we had in mind! Have a great trip!!! 😊
What is the best way to get to Cannes from Nice, the train? San Tropez also? Oh, if I had only watched till the end of the video. I'm taking a boat.!
To Cannes from Nice: train, to Saint-Tropez: boat 😄
Thanks for your work showing the French Riviera-- a great wealth of information and beautiful videos of the coast.
Thank you! 🤩🙏
Beautiful video! Thank you so much for giving me a reason to love traveling again.
Hello! Thank you for this lovely video! What do you suggest to visit in Cote d'Arzur in one week, base in Nice?
If you have a full week, you can probably squeeze it all in! It really depends what you prefer: city vibes, laid back villages, going to the beach… The things we’ve shown in this video are what we would show our friends that visit, our top picks.
@@rivierago merci!!
I plan my visit with my family next year to your region. Can I contact you for some personal recommendations? 🙂
Hi Silke! Sure! DM on Instagram…? 😉
Stayed at the Negresco in the late 90s- Memories are made of this.
🤩 🤩
Wow! So much has changed. I was in Nice in 1988. Definitely must go back to see it all.
Wonderful video! Thank you so much.
Thanks a lot, Raena! Yes, a lot has changed, and especially in Nice for the better 😅
Thanks for sharing your French Riviera tips!😊

Hi, thanks so much for reaching out! For now, we’re not offering any paid guide services - but we’re working on it 😉. We’ll keep you posted 😊
@rivierago love your videos. We are learning so much. Maybe you will permit my wife and I buy you dinner to show our appreciation.
@@denverbri69 that’s so sweet of you, thank you very much! Why don’t you reach out again when you’re here and we’ll see?
@@rivierago OK!
Also in nice advisable to stay near the beach or old Town? Is it all walkable?
Nice is not huge, so it's easy to find a place within 2 km of the beach and/or the old town. If you do, you can reach most places of interest on foot. If you're a bit further away, there's public transport. If you want to walk mostly, choose a place within a 2 km radius around the old town.

Will ne travelling in June. Was planning to do 8 nights in nice and day trips to cannes, monaco. Is tht ok or do u suggest 4 nights in nice and 4 in cannes?
Hey, that's a good question. If you don't mind switching hotels, go for it! Then you can appreciate each city more without the commute.
@@rivierago thank u, but do u feel it's better to stay in nice and do day trips rather than staying in cannes(expensive hotels)
@@gauravjaggi5098 If it’s not possible to find a place according to your budget in Cannes, you can definitely stay in Nice and do all trips from there.
