 Nice
It snaps, sizzles and pops. Beaches, museums, nightlife, shopping, fine dining; there's no time to be bored no matter when you come.
Don't miss the Promenade
des Anglais and the Old
Town.
 Monaco
No riffraff, only royalty and tennis stars in this magical land where the
spirit of Princess Grace still rules. Visit the Prince's Palace, the Exotic Gardens and, by all means sample the unrivaled nightlife.
Don't miss Monte Carlo.
 Cannes
Stately but fun, Cannes is more than the famous Film Festival. The air of moneyed elegance is intoxicating; admire the yachts offshore, browse the designer stores and wander up Le Suquet hill for a taste of Old Cannes.
Don't miss La Croisette.
 St-Tropez
A small-town in Provence that has become an obligatory photo
op for every starlet on the make. Sandy Pampelonne beach is paparazzi heaven, closely followed by the former fishing village's sizzling nightlife.
Don't miss the Old
Port.
 Train de Pignes
Just sit back and enjoy the swirl of Mediterranean scenery as this train
chugs through the Var valley. Disembark if you wish to explore the medieval villages.
Don't miss the steam
engine that makes a circuit summer weekends.
 St-Paul-de-Vence
Yes, it's touristy but there's something about this walled city on a hill.
Maybe it's the glorious views or maybe it's the classy souvenirs you
can pick up
Don't miss the Fondation
Maeght, a first-rate museum
of contemporary art.
 The Moyenne Corniche
Of the three "corniches", I prefer the middle road which seems
to me just the right height to appreciate the sinuous coast.
Don't miss the view of St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
