2025 Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)

#holidayitinerary Wandering around Nice was such a vibe. The mix of old town charm and beachy energy makes it super fun to explore on foot. I started in the Old Town with its narrow little streets, colorful buildings, and cute markets. Everything smells like fresh bread and lavender, and there’s always something new around the corner. Then I made my way to the Promenade des Anglais for a chilled walk by the sea. The blue water is insanely pretty and the breeze makes it perfect for just strolling or sitting with a snack. I grabbed a gelato and people watched for a while. There are palm trees, street performers, and cafés everywhere. It’s busy but never overwhelming. Nice has this relaxed yet lively feel that makes you want to stay longer. Whether you're into art, food, or just walking around aimlessly, this town really hits the sweet spot.

5 days siteseeing along the coast in the south of France!

☀️ Nice in January? Yes, it’s a thing — and it’s glorious. When my friends were braving sleet and grey skies, I was sipping coffee by the palm-lined promenade in Nice, soaking up winter sun that felt stolen from summer. Nestled along the Côte d'Azur, Nice is the perfect off-season escape. The Mediterranean sparkled, the air was crisp but kind, and the light — that famous Riviera glow — was absolutely real. A morning wander took me from pastel facades in the Old Town to the regal Russian Orthodox Cathedral. And from Nice-Ville station, I hopped on a coastal train that weaved through cliffs and seaside towns like Villefranche-sur-Mer, where the sea hugs the shore in a dreamy embrace. By the afternoon I was in Monaco, watching supercars zip past the palace. In one day: three cities, two countries, one unforgettable escape from winter. #nice #wintersun #france
