La Croisette is always an awesome place for summer holidays. Its sandy beaches, the great food restaurants and the luxury shops offer all the ingredients of a perfect stay, althought a bit too expensive.

Vieil Aix is a fascinating place. The "Old Aix" is a beautiful area. We walked around the streets observing, looking, enjoying everything there was on offer. There are wide and some narrow streets, shops, cafes, restaurants, patisseries, bread shops, and other types of shops, fountains, sculptures and more. And the architecture of the buildings is also worth the trip.
4. Old Town

This historic part of Nice feels like a medieval village with narrow streets curving between old buildings with red-tile roofs, small restaurants and open-markets.

Large Old Town area incorporating a wonderful flower market, small shops in narrow, historic winding alleys and streets selling anything and everything, thoroughly enjoyable time with great cafes/restaurants full of locals enjoying coffee, snacks and meals.

This harbor is lovely, gorgeous, beautiful, picturesque. A bit quaint and well worth a visit when exploring the French Riviera.

The signs at the bottom of the trail suggest an hour to climb, but if your feeling up for a challenge you can break 30mins. Prepare yourself for 350m of ascent over 1.8km (19% gradient overall). That sounds intense but it's perfectly manageable. The trail itself is well trodden and very easy to follow, pretty much one way up. Strongly recommend walking boots or trail shoes, but trainers will probably be fine in the dry. There are plenty if good photo opportunities of the bay and coastline below. Once you get to the top there is Eze old town which is amazing to stroll around. Enjoy the climb, it's worth it for the view!

Fantastic area for a leisurely stroll on a summer day. Quite a few cafes and restaurants along the way, which made it easy to stop and refuel. The old cobble-stoned winding streets take you back to the days gone by - the streets have been there for hundreds of years! Oh and don't forget to stop over at La Gelateria to try one of their amazing flavours. Highly recommended.

In the 11th century, the Lords of Fos settled on the top of theCasteou hill (204 m) and built a powerful fortress - one ofthe largest in Provence.Ruled by Charles I of Anjou, brother ofSaint Louis, King of France, a city developed below thefortress which is now a perfect example of a frenchmedieval village. But when in 1481, Provence becamepart of the kingdom of France, the royal city of Hyeresfell into oblivion, until the visits of François I in 1529,then Charles IX and his mother Catherine de Mediciin 1564. However, the city was devastated during thereligious wars. Later on, Louis XIII orderedthe demolition of the castle : the fortress was consideredtoo powerful, as the “League” of Lords was raising againstthe royal order.
