It can’t be denied. The French Riviera manages to be both tropical and European. It feels like a fairytale with clear blue waters similar to aquamarine crystal or the stained glass windows of Chartres Cathedral. The soft sand at the resort-like beaches hosts a backdrop of regal buildings. When visiting the French Riviera, it’s nearly impossible to not become a different version of yourself. You feel richer, you’re more daring. During your time on the Riviera, it’s important to take the bull by the golden horns and engage in every activity possible.
Here are the top five things you must see and do while visiting.
Monte Carlo Dreams
There are very few places as iconic as Monte Carlo, the location of the grandiose Monte Carlo Casino. There are numerous social events worldwide that are themed after this chic and timeless area of Monaco. Whether or not you’re a gambler, you should visit this luxurious casino. The architecture alone is awe-inspiring.
Gambling is not the only thing you can do at the casino; it is also home to an opera house where you can attend operas and ballets. These sophisticated shows will make you feel like you are in a movie!
Beyond the casino and opera house, endless shops and restaurants overlook the
surrounding waters where you can enjoy viewing the high-end yachts and boat parties. Who knows? You may even be invited onto a yacht if you are lucky!
Cuisine Tours
Booking a food tour in the French Riviera is an exciting excursion. Learning how others eat and experience food in a different city or country is always an enriching experience. But in Monaco, the experience puts the RICH in enrichment.
Savor exquisite wines and delectable foods that pair perfectly. Take a food tour in Nice and indulge in all the unique tastes that you can recreate when you return home.
Photoshoot
Explore the French Riviera with a professional photographer. You can always snap simple photos on your phone, but why not elevate your experience and hire a professional photographer during your stay? You can put on your best clothes and book a photo session (or two!). You will have professional images to remind you of your glamorous travels, and these images may even become your holiday card photos.
Boat Tour of St. Tropez
St. Tropez feels like a mythical place as it is so often referenced in music and film. Only the elite spend time in St. Tropez. The parties are lavish and the experiences are like no other. Simply ordering a coffee in this region will make you feel like a 90s supermodel. Book a boat tour and take in all the sites. Become inspired by the landscape, landmarks, and clear azure waters.
Winding Roads
A great way to see the French Riviera is by renting a car. The roads are winding and intricate. There is a tantalizing danger to the adventure. The roads are constantly twisting and turning. You will feel like Grace Kelly in a Hitchcock film. Rent an exotic vehicle and take an hour or so to let the wind blow through your hair. With that said, make sure you wear a seatbelt, keep your hands at 10 and 2, and drive at a proper speed– we don’t need any incidents whilst on vacation! Make sure your passengers have cameras ready to snap the views as you drive past.
The French Riviera is quite literally a movie set. It feels like you’re in a dream! You can’t always be in the French Riviera, but you can make memories that stay with you forever.
