The French Riviera (or Côte d’Azur) lies along France’s Southern Mediterranean coast. The waters here are crystal clear, with rocky beaches and charming towns and villages.
I’ve added some post-trip notes to this itinerary with my experiences.
Hotel:
- Le Meridian Nice
- We had a room with no view. Rooms were dated. This hotel was a major disappointment.
Food:
A great resource for kosher food in France is 123Cacher.
- Lechem Chamaym
- Le dauphin bleu
- Le Kineret
Activities:
- Hop on Hop Off Tour Nice
- Cannes
- We took a train (their trains are very easy to navigate) to Cannes. We mostly strolled along the beach and along some popular avenues.
- Private Tour
- We booked a tour via GetYourGuide with StarTour for $100/pp. It was a 9-hour tour starting at 2PM, which took us along the coast, through some small towns and villages, and then to Monaco/Monte Carlo. The drive along the coast and these small villages is breathtaking. Parfumerie Fragonard, Eze- part of the package was a tour at this perfume and soap factory. The smells mostly gave me a headache…
- We headed to Monaco in the late afternoon.
- Monaco
- The views
- Like the rest of the French Riviera, the views are absolutely breathtaking, but here its coupled with multi-million dollar yachts in the harbor…
- Prince’s Palace of Monaco
- There’s some nice art here, and an audio guide narrated by the prince with some history of the place.
- The City
- We did a lot of strolling and window gawking. We felt too simple to even consider walking into most of the shops (had a similar feeling in Dubai…)
- Casino Monte-Carlo
- This was an out of this world experience. Obviously, we were only allowed into the entrance hall, but that was something. We spent a good twenty minutes out front, just examining the cars😊 I’m not an aficionado so I couldn’t even name half of them, was fascinating to me is that 90% of the plates were from the Middle East meaning these people had either flown in their cars on their private jet, or had them shipped over for the evening on their yacht. We caught a glimpse of some Sheikh leaving with his harem.
