[@vincentespinoza7097]

Just traveled to France for the first time and ended up staying in Cannes instead of nice and regretted it, while Cannes is nice too but there was SO much more to do in nice and ended up loving it more.

[@camdendavid]

Thanks for sharing this. Hope you still had a great time staying in Cannes :)

[@jellybeanparis584]

@@camdendavid - Cannes, pronounced “Can” like a Can of Campbell’s French Onion Soup - not like Con, as in Con Artist - LOL - just in-case for future videos… Cannes is more posh like Saint-Tropez. Nice is bigger & so has more to offer; but both towns have their own uniqueness… ❤️ your videos ❤️

@jellybeanparis584 but Cannes has the better beach, I was there and it was pure sand..Nice has beaches that are just stones and it's not what anyone would desire as there are so many locations in the world with pure sand..I also was told the stones are part of the reason the water looks so azure blue.

[@JesseJamesEttebe]

I live in Nice. Best thing if you take the tram from the airport, do not buy the ticket at the airport. Get off at Grand Arena's, and buy your ticket there, you will save money. Also the airport to grand Arena's is free. Please do come off season, you will have a great experience and you won't melt during the summer months.

[@camdendavid]

Great tip :)

yes, good tip. We arrived yesterday to the Airport and all tourists were a little bit surprised for a high price of the ticket just from the Airport! 10 EUR. But from Grand Arena it costs only 1,70 EUR /person to get to the city by tram.

[@camdendavid]

Great to hear this from a local! I appreciate you taking the time to share your support 😊

[@aaaaahna]

I live in Nice, and I'm glad you encourage people to come in the off peak season. The trains cannot accomodate the work commuters and the tourists during the summer months, especially when tourists take the trains during rush hours. Many people are left on the platform, and commuters working in Monaco are becoming increasingly tired of the struggle to even make it on the train to get to work. Also beware of pickpockets on the tram and the trains. They take advantage of the moment you board to pick your pockets, so be aware. I've tried to warn people but I've seen so many people lose their valuables 😓

You do a really great job with this travel guide! Just remember that Nice is France's third most "dangerous" city, so just be aware of suspicious activity, and keep your personal belonging away from pickpockets. Don't flash expensive watches and jewelry after dark, and be aware of scams

[@camdendavid]

Thanks for the support! I always felt safe but appreciate you looking out for fellow travelers :)

[@marciafyfe9058]

If you want to venture further in to Italy the train will take you to the Cinque Terre, a world heritage group of 5 classic villages hugging the cliffs of the Ligurian Sea south of Genoa. Definitely worth at least one overnight stay. You did an excellent job exploring Nice. Thank you.

[@camdendavid]

[@yuriyzenda5857]

Totally agree. I just got here from half watching another cliche Nice video because I couldn't stand the cliche - yours is so much more real, detail oriented, and gives a real tourist's perspective.

[@BrandiJess]

Every time I see videos like this, I always wonder why no one ever mentions bus #600/601. It's only €2.50 and it goes from Nice all the way to Menton along the coastal road and is an absolutely beautiful ride, with stops in pretty much every single city along the coast, including Eze, Villefranche, Cap d'Ail, and Monaco. It takes about 2 hours end to end, but it's more appealing than the train, which often goes through mountains and has no views. It's a good way to see a lot of the little towns along the Cote d'Azur without renting a car. Also, completely agree about Menton -- I absolutely hated it and would have left about 2 days in had I not rented a nonrefundable apartment for the month. Anyway, great video! Thank you for sharing.

[@kathleentx5254]

Thank you for this tip!

[@Sparki883]

I hope to use it next month! Thanks

[@followtheriverflow]

Notes from a local: It takes 2x the time of the train and has a lot of turns so be prepared It doesnt pass through Eze (only accessible with bus 82 that is packed) but rather the beach of Eze where then don’t even think on climbing to the village during summer its a whole trekking path, solution is to wait for another bus to take you there

[@marvelousmarc863]

We visited in the fall and I echo some of your recommendations accept Menton. Next to EZE it was a highlight. We day hiked up the hill into Italy, walked right across the border, had brunch including Lemonchellos and walked down an amazing path/steps down to the sea with the most amazing views and then walked back to Menton along the sea. Amazing, took about 3 hours an absolutely stunning walk.

[@camdendavid]

Sounds like a great time! Thanks for sharing :)

I’ll be there in less than a month and really looking forward to seeing Menton. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@madison96472]

I visited Nice two summers ago and I am so happy you mentioned Eze! Eze was so lovely and there's even a perfume factory and museum near the bus stop I remember. They give you a tour and history of perfumery in France and let you sample the fragrances they make in house. I got my sister souvenirs from there!

[@camdendavid]

I visited Nice and surrounding villages this past July with my mom and your tips were so helpful. I had an amazing time. Villefranche was one of my favorite places. We spent our beach day there. I’m glad I didn’t skip it. We tried to get into La Cucina a few times, but you definitely have to get there early to secure a seat. Eze Village, Menton, Gorges du Verdon, Castellane, and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie are all magical places. ❤️

I appreciate the support and am glad to hear it! I'll add those spots to my list for the next visit -- thanks!

[@IlonaPestininke]

I can confirm that it’s a great video and advices because I visit French Riviera quite often. Speaking about Eze, I would say that there is even better place of the same vibe to visit. It is Saint Paul de Vence. It is bigger. And if you have a car you can visit a whole bunch of brautiful medieval little towns up the hills. And definitely, take all possible seaside walks, including Cap Ferrat and Antibes paths.

[@unclefredsbrickslot5824]

Agree with everything here EXCEPT: 1) Monaco is worth a visit to do the palace tour (Prince Grace's former home); 2) Cannes is actually a nice town with a large (free) public beach alongside the private one. It's worth walking up to the castle in the old town for spectacular views. Great vid by the way! :)

[@camdendavid]

Much appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to share your perspective :)

[@cognoscenticycles4351]

For excellent coffee in Nice, I would check out La Claque in the Old Town, and Clay in the Place du Pin area and Cafe Fino in the Carabacel neighbourhood. In my opinion the best neighbourhood to stay in is Port Lympia. The tram from the airport drops you off right in the Port. It's also a stones throw from the Old City and every other place worth visiting.

[@camdendavid]

Thanks for the suggestions!

[@SweetHoneySugar06]

Antibes is my hometown and I spend a lot of my time off in Nice, and I agree with most of your comments. I am not a big fan of Cannes (although the old part, "le Suquet" is very nice) or Monaco either. I would also recommend the "sentier des contrebandiers" which is the coastal path around Cap d'Antibes. You need good walking shoes and a few hours but the view is wonderful. I confirm, and love, that we can walk or take a train, a tram or a bus to almost anywhere in the area. And I did not count but don't worry about your pronunciation, this is quite cute actually. 😊

[@camdendavid]

I appreciate you taking the time to share this. I'll have to spend some time visiting the sentier des contrebandiers during my next trip. Thanks for the recommendation and taking it easy on my pronunciations :)

[@brunonicolas-blanchi4625]

[@sylly654]

Great review and tips. But I need to add my two cents; we LOVED Menton! We went to one of the beach clubs and it was by far the best beach experience we had while on the riviera. The cove provided great swimming (o.k. technically floating on a raft-lounger) . And the views of the town were stunning! We never made over to Ventimiglia, but Menton had a definite Italian flair with some great restaurants and a lot of Italian speakers all around us. It sure felt like Italy 😊 It was absolutely beautiful, one of the highlights of our trip.

[@camdendavid]

So glad to hear you had a great time in Menton! I wonder if visiting Ventimiglia influenced my perception of Menton -- Certainly possible. Thanks for sharing your experience :)

Welcome to the channel 😃

[@naomililith9350]

In Cannes you can experience foreworks in the summer months, which are incredible. If you decode to go, you will have to arrive really early to reserve a spot on the beach, where you will hear the matching music.

[@LifeAsItIs478752]

And make sure you leave immediately after the fireworks end to book it to the train station. There’s only so many trains after that time of night before they’re done till morning and the other tourists get desperate (and pushy) too 😬😬 Otherwise be prepared to either hangout until 6am or take an Uber/Bolt back 😅

[@lynnettest.george1702]

Monaco is also quite exceptional. The aquarium is incredible. One can learn much of the history of marine science, scuba, and the explorations of Jaques Cousteau. Also, there are some beautiful gardens and the church where Prince Albert and Grace Kelly were married and are buried. The architect of the Casino, Garnier, the very same who designed the Palais d'Opéra à Paris. Your exposé was wonderful and very thorough. J'adore Nice.

[@camdendavid]

[@bolghorn]

as a French living in Nice, I can confirm that your review is accurate. Monaco is overrated it’s plenty of wealthiest people, but mostly everything is high end luxury, so it’s not interesting for most people. And Menton is mostly a place for retired people and therefore it’s quiet, even way too quiet, not much animated place or fancy old village like the other places you mentioned. Great review again 👏🏻

Now I have to watch his other videos and use them as a reference when I travel.. COMPLETE TRUST from my side. Outstanding brief 10/10

[@sueaufleger8287]

St. Paul de Venice is a beautiful hilltop village and we preferred it to Eze by far! Also, there is the train station near the airport (St. Augustin) and many hotels around that area…near Pheonix park and Les Arènes . We found that to be the most convenient area to stay. Thanks for all the other info!

[@JessicaMartinson]

What you missed in Menton, especially since you were there in February is the Fête Citron / The Lemon Festival. They are known for Menton lemons and their famed festival takes place about Feb 15 - March 2 every year. It is a wonderful place to see giant statues and scenes cover completely in lemons. They also have a parade with floats and fireworks (which requires tickets). The smell is so fragrant, and signals the coming of spring in the area. It is a very unique experience. It is also a good time to see the town as a whole at that time too. Just be aware that this can be rainy season in this region, so bring an umbrella or watch the weather forecast, as the entire event is outdoors.

You also failed to mention all the antique shops, museums and great shopping in Nice. Also, so many other towns along the coast heading toward Italy for beaches, strolls, hikes, etc

Monaco is interesting for a few things. there are punctual events every year like the grand prix and the tennis tournament (which actually takes place in France a few km from monaco). and there is a beautiful exotic garden and an ocean museum which are well worth the visit. (although the garden is momentarilly closed i think). Menton is known for the lemon festival that happens in the winter and which is very beautiful.

Good catch on Monaco and Cannes, not much to see there indeed (and yes I live in Cannes). However there's the old town in Menton, and a nice sea-side walk on the Cap Martin next to Menton which are worth your time. But yes, Eze is the jewel of the coast ☺️. Glad you enjoyed your stay ☺️.

Sounds like you have an awesome trip in the works! Hope you're enjoying :)

[@michellemobakeng5938]

You don't have a penchant for opulence, as you've expressed a lack of enthusiasm for Monaco and Cannes but I am surprised Menton, that charming little town, did not get your approval.

[@camdendavid]

Definitely need to spend some more time there. I know I must have missed something :)

[@michellemobakeng5938]

@@camdendavid You do not have to because it's about your personality.

[@denisewalsh6586]

Menton seems very vertical like you have to do alot of walking up to the village..also the beach seems so close to the tall buildings? Just going by the photos and videos.

I plan on going to Nice for a solo trip at the start of September. Hopefully for 7 nights. I'm super excited!

[@camdendavid]

I hope you have a great time!!

Just today I purposefully chose to sit on the right side of the bus so I could have the view when taking the 600 to Monaco. Pro: beautiful view. Con: sweating like a pig in the sun 😪😮‍💨

[@camdendavid]

Hahhaha there's always pros and cons! Hope you enjoyed the view :)

[@clealinden7755]

I also visited Nice in February (Libération, very convenient!) -- great despite the rain that fell for 1/3 of my stay (pack a sturdy umbrella :). Jardin Alsace Lorraine is a lovely, peaceful spot not far from the Promenade des Anglais, and the Musée 'Archéologique de Nice-Cimiez is fascinating! Loved Antibes and its English book shop, but be SUPER vigilant if carrying your passport: its loss/theft can ruin your trip!

[@MicheleNidiffer]

This is great! Just booked a trip for me and my son for September and your recommendations were very helpful. Thanks for sharing this!

[@camdendavid]

Hope you have a great time!

I soooo Loved Nice and the surrounding areas. Your video brought back so many memories. I was there almost 20 years ago, when they were building the tram system. I liked it so much, I spent almost four years there! Oh, soca ( it's pronounced with a long "o", like rhymes with "mocha" ) and Cannes, should rhyme with Hannes ( like Han Solo ! LoL ) . Glad u'll had a GREAT time :)

[@camdendavid]

Much appreciated :)

[@debbiemartin5540]

This is a really helpful video full of useful tips - thank you! I’m considering moving to Nice and your suggestions are inline with everything I’ve researched so far. Nice job… maybe just a little work needed with the pronunciations 😊

[@camdendavid]

LOTS of work needed on the pronunciations haha. Thanks for watching :)

Wow...i wish i had the money to spend an entire summer in Nice...I'm looking at 10 days in Nice.

[@valeriafernandez908]

@@denisewalsh6586that’s nice!! I’m already leaving next week though. But it has been a very nice experience and will definitely come back! Ten days is perfect you have time to visit a lot of places such as Antibes, Cannes, Eze, and saint tropez. I hope you have a really nice trip and enjoy!!

An overlooked advantage of pebble beaches is that they are mycosis-free while sand beaches can be contaminated.

[@camdendavid]

Ahh, interesting

[@bibibachmd9995]

Thanks for the run down on Nice. I spend a few months a year in Beaulieu-sur-Mer (right next to Villefranche-sur-Mer). I agree with you on Monaco and Cannes. The Jean Cocteau museum in Menton is worth a visit and I like the promenade to walk and have a coffee. I am going to visit Saint Tropez via ferry from Nice and also visit the Ventimiglia market. Looks interesting.

Hope you have a great time :)

Good stuff. Thanks! Not sure if you went further to Sanremo? Worth going on a day trip?

[@camdendavid]

I didn't make it down there but maybe a local who sees this comment will help :)

[@philzail2532]

We took a different approach renting a car. I didn't find driving all that bad, there's a highway just a few miles inland going through France and Italy. We widened our adventure, driving typically one or two hours away. We even spent a night in Florence. There's so much to see you could do a couple of months here. Places we went, Eze, Cannes, Monaco, Menton. In Italy we saw Genoa, Portofino, Cinque Terra and Florence. We stayed in Cap Martin and of course we were in Nice. Note: Cannes has a sand public beach.

[@camdendavid]

Thanks for sharing this! Sounds like you guys had a great trip :)

[@denisewalsh6586]

Cannes has a public sandy beach but where would the restrooms be on this public beach or the beach in Villefranche that I think is public?

[@philzail2532]

@@denisewalsh6586 I couldn't tell you. It's been awhile ago.

[@Wholebitenutrition]

Very informative! Would you stay in Nice or Antibes if driving ?

[@camdendavid]

Depends on the what you're looking for but I loved using Nice as the base. Maybe would choose Antibes in the summer months (Nice would be more crowded). Can't go wrong with either :)

[@elliotfelipe]

We spent the winter in Nice. I agree with most everything, except, Ventimiglia. I thought the market was dumpy. The carnival is wild and not in a great way. Loads of pickpockets. Also, it is easy to take the tram from the airport to town. Just get off at the Grand Arenas stop and get your ticket there. It's $1.70 vs $10 if you get your ticket at the airport. Super easy to do too. Also, keep the plastic tram ticket-card, you can get a $2 refund when you leave.

[@camdendavid]

Thanks for this! Love hearing the different perspectives and hope you enjoyed your time :)

[@denisewalsh6586]

Are there also alot of pickpockets in Nice?

[@jml4774]

@@denisewalsh6586 Pickpockets are everywhere, especially touristy areas. Wear a crossbody bag, make sure it is in front of you and zipped shut.
