The French Riviera is an area full of beautiful cities, astounding scenery and luscious sunshine. This is why it is a dream destination for many travelers. On this trip, I want to journey all along the south of France and end up in Italy for a magical European experience. Starting in Marseille, we will visit Cannes, Nice and Monaco (among other places) before ending up in beautiful Genoa. We will journey on beautifully, scenic train rides and majestic car drives as we make our way along the coast. Have a read of the full itinerary below and join me for a few days of Mediterranean wonder! This is a fast-paced trip as we will only be spending one to two days in each place. I think this is worth mentioning as I know some people enjoy spending long times in cities - whereas I am more of a quick-paced individual. If you enjoy spending a lot of time in a place and relaxing then this might not be the trip for you. However, if you enjoy going somewhere, doing as much as you can and then zooming on to the next one, then this is the perfect trip for you to tick off a lot of Mediterranean cities! Please bare this in mind when deciding to book this trip :)
My name is Josh and I am from the UK. I am 27 years old and I have experience travelling all over Europe (and some other parts of the world). One of my dream destinations has always been Monaco and I am excited to finally be visiting it! But why stop there? I decided it would be better to incorporate my Monaco dream into one epic adventure along the French Riviera coastline.
The accommodation will be a series of hotels and nice AirBnBs. The rooms will be shared. Once the number of tripmates has been confirmed, I will be able to finalise all the bookings and can provide extra information on what meals will be included in our stay. Either way, we will always be staying near convenience stores and other amenities so you will be able to get anything you need within a few minutes.

Trip Itinerary
1
Marseille
Day 1-3
We will start the trip in Marseille, one of the most famous French cities. The first day is the day of arrival and there are no specific plans. We will all meet and get to know each other over dinner and drinks in the evening. We will spend one full day in Marseille - exploring places such as the famous port and the stunning cathedrals.
2
Saint-Tropez
Day 3-5
It will take a full morning to travel to our next stop. Saint-Tropez is mainly known for its beaches and relaxing atmosphere. After we get settled, we will spend the rest of the day - plus one more day - enjoying the sun, relaxing on the beach and exploring the beautiful town.
3
Cannes
Day 5-8
We will journey next to Cannes. The journey will again take a few hours. Once we arrive and after we are settled, we will spend the rest of the day exploring the city. We can walk along the beautiful boulevard and explore the historic old market town, among other things. We will then spend another two full days in the area. One of these days will be spent on a day trip to the beautiful town of Grasse - which is a stunning must-see gem of the French Riviera.
4
Nice
Day 8-11
After a quick train ride, we will arrive in Nice. Nice is an extraordinary place with lots to do - from exploring old buildings to spending time at the coast. While in Nice, we will take part in a boat tour and a wine tour. We will also spend a day on the 'Train des Merveilles' (aka the Wonder Train) where we will travel up to Tende whilst moving through charming villages and stunning landscapes. We will spend a couple hours in Tende before heading back to Nice on the trian. We can then choose if we want to hop off at any of the villages we saw on the way up.
5
Èze
Day 11
Our next stop is the beautifully picturesque town of Èze. Some people consider it to be the most beautiful place on the French Riviera. We will leave Nice in the morning, spend most of the day in Èze, before heading to Monaco in the evening. Èze has a renowned garden we will visit, plus a highly-rated shopping district. Also, we will be sure to snap some pics here for Instagram!
6
Monaco
Day 11-13
This will be the highlight of the trip for me! Monaco is quite small, so we should be able to see everything within a day. We will spend most of the time sight-seeing. Monaco is also frequented by the rich and famous so maybe we can try to photobomb some paparazzi pics if we see a famous celebrity!
7
Menton
Day 13-14
Menton is another pretty town on the French Riviera. Here, there are also gardens to see as well as the town to explore. We will arrive here in the morning and spend one night before heading off to our next stop.
8
Ventimiglia
Day 14-15
Now we will leave France and enter Italy. Ventimiglia is a beautiful Italian town near the French-Italian border. It again offers architectural masterpieces and stunning coastal views. It will take another full day to explore this town.
9
Genoa
Day 15-17
Our final stop will be Genoa. After travelling from Ventimiglia, we will have time to explore the city and go sight-seeing. We will have one more full day in Genoa before the last day of the trip. On the last day, there are no plans as everyone will be leaving at different times. Hopefully, you will leave with a smile on your face and perhaps I will see you on another trip soon!
