The French Riviera is one of the most famous vacation destinations in the world, linking the 5th biggest city of France with more than dozens of airports across the world. In fact, direct flights are coming from Canada including Montréal, Toronto and also coming from the USA including New York, Atlanta and most recently Philadelphia. It gives you no excuse not to visit.
Actually, one of the many reasons why the Côte d’Azur is so attractive to travellers, is that it’s not only beautiful with its colourful architecture, its 300 days of sun per year, its unique pebbled beaches and its diverse gastronomy. Above all, the French Riviera contains many villages and small towns in a small radius. Which is more than accessible to anybody with a little sense of discovery. Therefore, you can find Medieval villages and multiple gorgeous bird’s eye views overlooking the Mediterranean sea. You can also be visiting the wealthiest country in the world, Monaco – everything is at your fingertips.
So now, which is the best way to discover the French Riviera from Nice to Monaco? How could you possibly see everything on the Côte d’Azur without wasting too much time on public transportations?
