Base yourself in Nice and dedicate most of your time to exploring the city’s attractions. In addition, spend an afternoon cruising the Corniches, an evening hitting the casino in Monte Carlo, and at least a half-day visiting Eze.
One Week
Tack on to the above itinerary two nights in Cannes and a day in St-Paul-de-Vence. Finish your trip on the coast, enjoying its beaches, cafes, shops, markets, and museums.
Two Weeks
Stretch the one-week itinerary above into 14 days, taking time to practice the art of lingering at alfresco cafes and on Mediterranean shores, and making time for off-the path attractions.
