Hi, I'm Max
I write these guides from the Côte d'Azur.
French Riviera Tips started as a simple idea: share the coast the way a local actually experiences it — not the glossy, over-priced version, but the real Riviera of morning markets, hidden coves, quiet villages and the trains that connect them all.
I write every guide from first-hand experience. I visit the hotels I recommend, walk the beaches, ride the buses and trains, and only publish what I'd tell a friend. I never accept payment for reviews, and I'll always tell you when a link is an affiliate one.
What you'll find here
Practical, up-to-date guides across seven themes — destinations, hotels, activities, events, hidden gems and tips — covering Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Antibes and the villages in between. Everything is written for English-speaking travellers planning a trip to the coast.
How we keep the lights on
Some links on this site are affiliate links (hotels via Stay22 and Booking/Expedia, flights and transfers via Travelpayouts and partners). If you book through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you — it's what keeps these guides free and independent. Read the full affiliate disclosure.
