Travel Tips for First Time Visitors to the French Riviera (Nice, Monaco, Cannes…)

[@gunarsvaivods3760]

Some years ago, I visited Nice accidentally, and now I can't resist visiting this beautiful city again and again .

[@rivierago]

@@gunarsvaivods3760 🤩 - accidentally? You’ve got us intrigued…

[@meganh7742]

Thanks to the both of you and your wonderful tips. I had a great time and memory filled trip to the French Riviera late last year.😊

Your videos have been so helpful as we are driving thru France this fall. We will be spending time in Provence and the côté d’azur and your tips have helped us to plan. Merci

[@rivierago]

Have the greatest trip! 🤩

Bonjour! Really helpful video. I’m planing my trip to Nice in February, so I was looking for some information about the weather but it seems I will be fine at that time. Can’t wait to visit… Merci. 🙏🏼

[@rivierago]

It should be fine - but there can always be a week (or a few days) of - even heavy - rain in February. If the weather is fine, it’s warm between 11am and 3 pm, but is chilly before and after. So you’ll need winter clothes, but be prepared to take clothes of during the warmer times of the day. 😅🤞

[@leplaisirdelire6890]

Le temps est bon en février.

[@fadelbmw5698]

This is the video I requested from you. I appreciate your effort. It is short and beautiful.

Great information indeed for the region and activities,travel and food tips,leasure tips and all. For the current season or off season. You do it best girls with your videos. For new comers or returning people. I got plenty of interesting info.from you and soon will put your tips and suggestions in action. " Deux verres de rose,s'il vous plait "! 😁😁 I like the calm surrounding in this episode. Very inviting. You both look great and I love the uplifting mood from you as always 🌞👍🏻🥳 😎 hehe 🍀

[@rivierago]

We especially like the “girls” part in your comment 🫣🤣😉, thanks for watching!!!

[@TahoeSki09]

Excellent video, we’re arriving next Saturday. We will be using all your tips.

[@rivierago]

Have a great trip! 🤩

[@mets3214]

Thanks for the great video! Your videos have really helped us plan our itinerary. We are visiting tomorrow for a week and there's so much to see, we can't get to all places we want to go lol. There's always next time. Even though most places take card, should we still take out some cash? Additionally, how's the acceptance of American Express in the area? This is our plan so far: - Day 0: Land in Nice, spend time at beach and walking promenade - Day 1: Full day in Nice (Chagall Museum, Castle Hill, Lunch at Le Plongeoir, etc.) - Day 2: Villefranche-Sur-Mer (Will walk coastal path from Nice) and Beaulieu-sur-Mer - Day 3: Eze, Monaco, Plage de la Mala - Day 4: Cannes/Antibes - Day 5: Menton, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat - Day 6: - Day 7: - Day 8: Fly home Haven't really planned the last two days yet. We are interested in doing a boat trip/tour, visiting somewhere in Italy (Though Ventimiglia doesn't look too appealing), Verdon Gorge. Other options we really want to see are St Paul de Vence, Grasse and other options that may be too far (St Tropez, Cassis/Calenques). Not sure which to prioritize lol.

[@rivierago]

Hey, sounds great! American Express is not as widely accepted as Visa/Mastercard, I think… but we don’t really have a lot of experience with Amex… sorry! As for your remaining days: we just took a boat trip to Saint-Tropez yesterday: great fun! You get to see nice coastal stretches and can walk through the village for 5 hours and explore (+ lunch, beach, shopping…) Italy is a great idea, too. We’re planning a trip soon. Ventimiglia is known for its Friday markets, but you’re right: Bordighera and Sanremo (to name just 2) are prettier. The Gorges du Verdon are very impressive and beautiful. If you rent a car you can see all of it and explore a few villages as well (Moustiers-Sainte-Marie). Whatever you pick you can’t go wrong really… Have a lovely time!

[@VintagesApprentice]

What’s the weather like in October? I will be in the French Riviera Oct 12-24! I’m so excited but don’t know how to pack for it 😅

[@rivierago]

Generally, it should be around 20 degrees C during the day when it’s sunny. Nights and mornings get chilly (but warmer on the coast than inland). It might rain on a few days - or it might not. Usually it’s t-shirt weather during the day, so bring shorts/skirt and sandals, but be also prepared to cover up, always take a sweater with you

[@Chel-e9c]

Enjoyed the vlog, do shops and restaurants take cash also?

[@rivierago]

Thanks! Yes, cash is possible everywhere!

[@Chel-e9c]

@@rivierago Thank you so much x

[@betsywaters8470]

you missed many many small unique art muesuems in small towns, such as Renoir House and the church that Picasso painted.

[@rivierago]

We know! There’s so much art down here, such a treasure… not to forget Cocteau in Menton, Bonnet in Le Cannet, Léger in Biot, and many many more. Also in the Var where you‘ll find traces of painters like impressionists Signac, Henri Edmond Cross, André Gide…

[@hemaxy]

Bonjour! My husband is travelling to Nice in last week of September this year. Can you please suggest what kind clothing he should be packing? Please suggest some other important packing tips for end of September and 1st week of October. What will be the temperature range during this time? He is going for office work and will have only Saturday and Sunday to see Nice and nearby places. Please suggest best ways to see Nice in 2 days.

[@rivierago]

Hi, the weather should be nice and warm during the day (t-shirt, shorts), but cooler in the evenings. It might rain, so check that beforehand. As for things to visit: We would probably explore Nice in one day (see our top 10 things to do video) and then take the train to Antibes & Cannes or Monaco & Menton the next day.

[@DonnaCole-d5y]

Do you know if I can take my small dog into a grocery store?

[@rivierago]

Not sure, but we actually doubt it… I‘ve never seen one 😳

[@fadelbmw5698]

Why didn't you talk about communications and the Internet? The best and cheapest Internet line. Do we buy from the airport or outside the airport?

[@rivierago]

Yes! Sorry, we totally forgot to include that info… and unfortunately we don’t have an answer from the top of our heads

[@mets3214]

I purchased an internet only e-sim from Ubigi, 10GB for 30 days was around $9 but I took the Europe pass for $18 since I may visit Italy as well on my trip.

[@Tasya_letoile]

Dear ladies, thank you for another great video. I have a question, maybe you know the answer. I bought La carte for public transport in 2023. And I have money for one trip on this card. Will I be able to use in 2025? Or should I buy a new card? Many thanks!

[@rivierago]

Thanks a lot! 😊 You should definitely be able to still use it
