If you are planning to spend a weekend in the French Riviera, what are the 5 best experiences you can have?
The French Riviera offers you many options, such as Menton, Èze, Nice, Vence, Saint-Paul De Vence, Cagnes-sur-Mer, Antibes, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez.
I suggest you choose to visit the Exotic Garden of Èze.
Walk early in the morning or in the evening through the almost empty alleys of Saint-Paul De Vence.
Visit the terrace suspended over the sea of the Picasso Museum in Antibes.
Go on a hike to Cap Roux.
Immerse yourself in the turquoise water either below Cap Roux, or along the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula.

High on its rocky perch you find ÈZE, an extremely well-kept village – maybe too much well-kept – with a beautiful Exotique garden. I suggest you explore this picturesque town walking the Nietzsche path and its narrow alleys.
SAINT PAUL DE VENCE has picturesque alleys with an incredible view on the Mediterranean coast. It has its most authentic atmosphere in the evening, when the hordes of tourists return to their coastal hotels.
ANTIBES is a sixteenth-century labyrinthine old town. The village is surrounded by its bastions and charms those who visit it with its port, the Provençal market, art museums, and much more.
