The Lerins Islands
The Lerins Islands (Îles de Lérins) is an archipelago of 4 islands located near Cannes. These islands are a great place to relax in nature, away from the crowds of tourists who stay on the French Riviera.
The Oceanographic Museum of Monaco
Monaco’s Oceanographic Museum is not only about a large aquarium with beautiful fish. Here you can also stroke a live shark, enter the replica of a bathyscaphe, and see the fantastic Monaco and Monte-Carlo panorama from the roof of the building.
Villefranche-sur-Mer
Villefranche-sur-Mer is definitely my favorite place on the French Riviera. The old village descends from the rocks straight into the bay, and the beach, although small, is covered with a fine gravel instead of stones.
Picasso Museum in Antibes
The Picasso Museum in Antibes is housed in Grimaldi Castle, which was inhabited by the artist during 1946. Today, you can admire Picasso’s works that were created in this place.
Saint-Paul de Vence
The old town of Saint-Paul de Vence looks like a nest from a distance. The village is built on top of a small elliptical hill and is surrounded by a high wall. It is worth seeing this artistic mecca on the French Riviera.
The Fragonard perfume factory in Grasse
Fragonard is a perfume factory in Grasse, near Nice. There you can visit the historic production line, the perfume museum, and buy cosmetics in the factory’s shop. It is certainly worth visiting this place while you are on the French Riviera.
