1. Cannes
This elegant resort city may look modernized, but it holds a ton of historical value.
In fact, hundreds of years of history were made between this city’s walls.
Aside from strolling along the coast of the mile-long La Croisette, dine at one of the many fabulous French restaurants and hike the Massif de l'Esterel, a coastal Mediterranean mountain range.
2. Cotignac
Nestled between cliffs and two 12th-century towers, Cotignac is full of stunning Provencal villages and vineyards.
Not much further than the commune, you will find the famous Gorge du Verdon.
3. Menton
Near the border of Italy, the half-moon bay on the French Riviera is one of Menton’s most enjoyable sites.
It is also one of the warmest resorts in the winter.
As you wander through town, you may notice all of the citrus trees and giant sculptures.
If you happen to be in town for it, don’t miss out on the annual Lemon Festival (Fête du citron)

Before you leave Nice, make sure you head to the Promenade for some shopping.
5. Peillon
This barricaded village sits right in the mountains of the Alpes-Maritimes.
