Base yourself in one town and day-trip the rest — the Riviera is smaller than it looks. Èze and Antibes are the two I'd never skip: one for the views, one for the old-town wander.
Èze
THE VILLAGE IN THE SKY
THE MEDIEVAL VILLAGE
Cobbled lanes and stone archways — wear flats, you'll thank me.
CHÂTEAU DE LA CHÈVRE D'OR
Lunch on the terrace, a thousand feet above the sea. The reservation to plan around.
JARDIN EXOTIQUE
Cacti and the single best panorama on the coast. Small fee, big payoff.
Antibes
OLD TOWN & THE CAP
MARCHÉ PROVENÇAL
The covered market — tapenade, peaches, and flowers. Mornings only.
MUSÉE PICASSO
In the Château Grimaldi right on the ramparts; an easy, beautiful hour.
CAP D'ANTIBES WALK
The coastal path (Sentier du Littoral) — bring sneakers and swim where the locals do.
Getting Around
TRAIN, NOT TRAFFICS
TAKE THE TRAIN
The coastal line hits every town — faster than driving in summer, and the views are better.
LUNCH IS THE ANCHOR
Book one lunch per town and build the day around it.
ONE TOWN PER DAY
Resist the urge to stack them. Two is a rush; one is a memory.
