Things to do on the French Riviera
The French Riviera — the Côte d'Azur — runs from Menton on the Italian border to Saint-Tropez: a coast of Belle Époque towns, hilltop villages and turquoise bays, with the foothills of the Alps rising behind it. Riviera To-Do brings what there is to do here into one place — what's on, which tours are worth booking, where to taste wine and how to get out on the water.
What you'll find on Riviera To-Do
•
Events: concerts, theatre, stand-up and festivals across the Riviera, with every date and a link to tickets — updated daily.
•
Tours and day trips from Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Antibes and Saint-Tropez, ranked by traveller reviews.
•
Wine tours: tastings in the Bellet vineyards above Nice and the rosé estates of the Côtes de Provence.
•
Boat and yacht rental: motorboats, RIBs, yachts and catamarans in every port, with a skipper or without.
•
Articles: seasonal guides, festivals, food and wine, and practical tips for planning your trip.
Gastronomic to-do: what to try
Riviera cuisine is the Mediterranean diet at its simplest: fresh seafood, good olive oil, local vegetables and Provençal herbs. No Riviera to-do list is complete without it — make sure you try these local favourites:
•
Salade niçoise: the classic salad of Nice — fresh vegetables, tuna or anchovies, boiled eggs and black olives.
•
Socca: a thin, crispy chickpea-flour pancake baked in a wood-fired oven and sold by the slice in Nice's old town — the perfect street-food snack.
•
Pissaladière and pan bagnat: an onion-and-anchovy tart and a salade niçoise in a round bun — two more Niçois classics for a picnic by the sea.
•
Bouillabaisse: the rich fish stew of the Provençal coast, traditionally served with croutons and a garlicky saffron rouille.
The markets are the best place to start: the Cours Saleya in Nice and the Marché Provençal in Antibes. Food walks through the old towns are among the most popular tours on the Riviera.
The Riviera in motion
On the water
Getting out on the water is one of the defining Riviera experiences: a boat to the Lérins Islands off Cannes, around Cap d'Antibes or into the bay of Villefranche, a day at Pampelonne off Saint-Tropez, or a sailing regatta watched from the quay. Rent a boat or yacht with a skipper or on your own.
Hiking and cycling
For walkers, the region has hundreds of kilometres of scenic trails — from the coastal paths of Cap Ferrat and Cap d'Antibes and the Nietzsche Path up to Èze, to mountain routes in the Mercantour National Park. Cyclists come from all over the world for the winding roads above the sea and the climbs of the Alpine foothills.
Golf
The golf courses around Mougins and in the hills behind Cannes are laid out among pine forests, with the sea in view.
Riviera wine and the perfumes of Grasse
The Riviera borders Provence, home of the light, dry rosé that suits a summer by the sea. The rosé estates of the Côtes de Provence are less than an hour from the coast, and Nice even has its own tiny appellation — Bellet, one of France's oldest, in the hills just above the city. Wine tours on the French Riviera run from workshops in town to full days among the vineyards.
Inland from Cannes, Grasse is the birthplace of French perfumery: its historic perfume houses open their workshops to visitors, and many day trips from Nice and Cannes combine a perfumery with wine tasting and the hilltop villages of Provence.
Discover the towns of the French Riviera
From Menton to Saint-Tropez, each town on the coast has its own character — Belle Époque villas and superyachts, old ports and hilltop villages, all between the Alps and the Mediterranean.
Nice: the cultural capital
Nice balances laid-back beach life with the energy of a real city. A stroll along the Promenade des Anglais is only the start: explore the narrow streets of the Old Town (Vieux Nice), the flower market on the Cours Saleya and the local bistros, and the museums dedicated to Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse. Things to do in Nice.
Cannes: cinema and the Croisette
Known around the world for its film festival, Cannes has much more than red carpets. The palm-lined Croisette, with its legendary hotels, leads to the old port and the hill of Le Suquet; a short ferry ride away, the Lérins Islands and their ancient abbey are an oasis of calm. Things to do in Cannes.
Monaco: glamour on the Rock
The Prince's Palace and the old town on the Rock, the Oceanographic Museum, the Monte-Carlo Casino and the corners of the Formula 1 circuit make this tiny principality an essential stop on any Riviera itinerary. Things to do in Monaco.
Antibes: old town and Cap d'Antibes
Antibes pairs a walled old town and a Picasso museum in the Château Grimaldi with Port Vauban, one of the Mediterranean's great superyacht harbours. Around the cape lie the coastal path of Cap d'Antibes and the beaches and jazz of Juan-les-Pins. Things to do in Antibes.
Saint-Tropez: bohemian charm
Once a modest fishing village, Saint-Tropez became a favourite of artists and celebrities, yet it keeps its Provençal spirit: the 16th-century citadel, the cafés around the port and the long sandy beaches of Pampelonne. Things to do in Saint-Tropez.
Menton and Villefranche-sur-Mer
Menton, the last town before Italy, is known for its mild climate, its lemons and the Fête du Citron each February, and an Italian-looking old town climbing the hill. Villefranche-sur-Mer sits on one of the Riviera's deepest bays, with a citadel and a fishermen's chapel painted by Jean Cocteau. Things to do in Menton · Things to do in Villefranche-sur-Mer.
Frequently asked questions about the French Riviera
What are the must-do things on the French Riviera?
A walk along the Promenade des Anglais and through the old town of Nice, the Rock and the Casino in Monaco, a boat to the Lérins Islands off Cannes, the hilltop village of Èze, a perfume workshop in Grasse and a wine tasting in the Bellet hills or the Côtes de Provence. With more time, add the old towns of Antibes and Menton and the beaches of Saint-Tropez.
When is the best time to visit the French Riviera?
May, June and September: the sea is warm, the days are long and the coast is calmer than in July and August, the busiest months. Winter is mild and quiet, with the Nice Carnival and the Menton Lemon Festival in February; May and June bring the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix.
Can I get around the Riviera without a car?
Yes. Regional trains run along the coast between Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Monaco and Menton, and buses reach the hilltop villages. Saint-Tropez has no railway station: go by bus, or by boat from Nice or Cannes in summer. Day tours with transport are an easy way to see several places in one day.
Should I book tours and boat trips in advance?
In summer, yes: boat trips, popular day tours and wine tastings sell out in July and August. Booking ahead also fixes the price, and many tours can still be cancelled for free up to 24 hours before; the exact policy is shown on the partner’s page before you pay.
Where can I find what’s on and buy tickets?
The events page lists concerts, theatre, stand-up and festivals across the Riviera, with every date and a link to the official ticket seller. It is updated daily; you choose your seats and pay on the seller’s site.
