Discover the journey
Settle into Nice for eight days of Riviera discovery without changing your overnight base. Coastal outings introduce Monaco, Cap-Ferrat, Eze, Cannes and Saint-Paul-de-Vence, each with a different scale and atmosphere. A quieter day between excursions leaves room to enjoy Nice itself or follow a personal interest nearby. Saint-Honorat is a possible addition to the Cannes day when boat services and conditions allow. The older villages have sloping or uneven streets, so walking routes should reflect your comfort and preferred pace. Keep the core journey focused on France and Monaco, with any extension into Italy considered separately.

Day-by-day itinerary
This is a proposed itinerary that can be adjusted around your interests. Final dates, visits and arrangements will be agreed before booking.

Arrive in Nice and settle into the Riviera base. A first local walk can introduce the surroundings, with a relaxed evening before the coastal outings ahead.
Planned overnight: Nice.

Spend the day around Nice, getting to know its streets and coastal setting. Keep time open for your own interests rather than moving immediately to another destination.
Planned overnight: Nice.
Day 3Monaco from the Nice base

Planned overnight: Nice.
Day 4Cap-Ferrat and Èze
