The French Riviera — the Côte d’Azur running from Nice to the Italian border — packs glamorous coastal towns into a compact stretch of coastline. Day tours typically link Nice’s old town with Monaco’s cliffside principality and the perfume town of Grasse or the film-festival glitz of Cannes, often with a scenic coastal drive along the corniches.

Boat trips out of Nice or Cannes are a popular way to see the coast from the water, and many tours can be booked as half-days if time is short. The region is easy to base yourself in for several days if you want to explore beyond a single tour.
