This tour of the French Riviera is best experienced over a period of at least two weeks, plus another two weeks for Provence, but can be adjusted based on your schedule.

The Itinerary
This itinerary is broken into multiple parts, so you can pick and choose which legs of this trip you have time for. The best way to experience it all is by starting on the East side of the French Riviera (by flying into Nice airport) and working your way West, then continuing into Provence.
Here are the itineraries, in the order that we recommend you enjoying them:
Monaco, Nice & Nearby South of France
Luxury at its finest, Monaco is a billionaire’s playground. The surrounding areas are filled with charming towns and incredible, often hidden gems.
Inland and Hilltop South of France
This is a more chill, country-side part of the trip, with Provence vibes. A great way to relax after the whirlwind pace of Monaco and Nice.
Antibes, Cannes & the Esterel
After spending time inland, this itinerary takes you back to the coast, to enjoy two fun cities, an incredible red rock mountain range, and a couple of islands.
Saint-Tropez Area
A bit further down the coast, is the unmissable Saint-Tropez, with its famous beach clubs. Here’s how to fully enjoy the world’s most famous jetset resort town. And if you’re feeling the need for a restorative wellness break, we’ve got you covered on that front too.
Coastal South of France & Provence
