When to visit

The best time to visit the French Riviera is during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) when the weather is mild and the crowds are smaller. Summer (July and August) is peak tourist season with hot temperatures and crowded beaches. Winter (November to March) is the off-peak season with cooler weather and some attractions may be closed.

Getting around

Getting around the French Riviera is easy with a well-connected public transportation system. Visitors can use buses, trains, and taxis to travel between cities and towns. Renting a car is also a popular option for exploring the region at your own pace. Walking and cycling are great ways to explore the charming streets and scenic coastal paths.

Traveller tips

Pack light and comfortable clothing for exploring the towns and beaches. Learn a few basic French phrases to communicate with locals. Try the local cuisine, including fresh seafood, Provencal dishes, and delicious pastries. Be prepared for higher prices in popular tourist areas. Respect the local customs and traditions, such as dressing modestly when visiting churches and historic sites. Stay hydrated and wear sunscreen to protect against the strong Mediterranean sun.
