Itinerary
Bonjour! You'll be transferred to your hotel to check in and get settled. Relax with a bottle of french wine or a cozy drink from a local cafe.
Start using your hop-on/hop-off bus and explore the City of Light.
Treat yourself to a delicious dinner tonight!
Spend the day continuing to use your 2-day Hop-on/Hop-Off pass.
Visit the landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Arc de Triomphe. Then, take the time to wander through the gardens of Luxembourg and revel in the quiet beauty of Montparnasse....
Board your train from Paris to Nice and check into your next hotel! Begin exploring everything the French Riviera has to offer, from Menton to Saint-Raphaël, via Monaco, and from the Mediterranean coast to the peaks of Mercantour.
Day two of your adventure awaits. Pack it full with activities or walk the Promenade des Anglais, commonly called Promenade or La Prom for short. It's a walk along the pebbly shore of Nice's beach and it's a lovely place to stroll with friends or loved ones.
Today is your last day! Pick up souvenirs, grab those last few photos, or visit sights you haven't seen yet.
You can take an early morning walk through Cours Saleya, a fruit, veggie and flower market that smells like paradise and is doused in color, or you can wander through museums, go shopping, get lost in Nice's lovely Old Town or luxuriate on the beach.
Au revior, France. Check out with new memories. You'll be transferred to Nice Airport for your departing flight. Until next time!
