5 Days in Nice & the French Riviera for Luxury Travelers
A polished five-day Nice and French Riviera luxury itinerary using Nice as an elegant base for the Promenade des Anglais, Èze, Monaco, Antibes, beach clubs, and refined seafood dinners. It balances Riviera glamour with logistics that actually work: waterfront hotels, rail-friendly excursions, private-driver upgrades, and slow lunches rather than overstuffed coastal hopping.
