5 Must-Visit Destinations on the French Riviera

When you think of France, you might think of historic sights and hotels in big cities like Paris. However, there’s another part of France that’s also worth visiting. The French Riviera has long been known as one of the most luxurious destinations in the world. With its stunning beaches, beautiful people, and stimulating culture, the French Riviera is an excellent destination for anyone looking to get away for relaxation or excitement. Check out 5 places below you can’t miss!

Nice

This coastal town on the Mediterranean Sea is known for both history and glamour. The town has its fair share of culture — from the Musee Matisse to the Opera de Nice. It also has a stunning beach and boardwalk right on the Mediterranean. One of the best parts of this town is that it has variation — you can find cheap hotels in Nice or ultra-luxury destinations, whichever suits your budget. Come for the natural beauty, the myriad of attractions, and the diverse community.

Cannes

Cannes

Cannes is best known for the elite film festival that happens every year. And while the festival is certainly the highlight of events in the city, it also boasts plenty to do for people year round. In addition to the water activities you can take advantage of on the sea, you can also visit local stops like the Forville Market, which has tons of local goods and produce, as well as historic Le Suquet. Search for Cannes hotels to find a place to stay in the culturally-rich city.

Saint-Tropez

If luxury is what you’re looking for, this is your best bet on the French Riviera. Known as a destination for the world’s richest and most famous, Saint-Tropez boasts beautiful beaches, luxury resorts, and tons of delicious dining and drinking options. The city has its share of interesting historic sites as well, including Citadelle de Saint Tropez and Chapelle Saint Anne, a chapel that was built in the 1700s.

Antibes

Eze

Eze is often overlooked when it comes to destinations in this area of the world. But many consider it a hidden treasure, because it boasts some of the most beautiful scenery on the Riviera without the same sized crowds. If you visit Eze, which sits high on a hilltop overlooking the sea, wander the historic cobblestone streets and check out the view of the bright blue Mediterranean. Eze also has the Exotic Gardens, which feature natural exotic plants and a beautiful escape you can wander through when you want to get away from the bustle of the village.

Antibes

Antibes is another popular destination on the Riviera. This beautiful port town has both cultural and natural sites to entertain any type of traveler. In Antibes, you can visit the Musee Picasso to check out the master works. Also, many Antibes hotels have breathtaking views of the sea. The town also has an ancient cathedral, botanical gardens, and a historic military fort. Antibes hotels are known is a must-see for any history or culture buff.

    Always wanted to go there. When we lived in Europe, we always traveled north or south from Germany, never west or east.
