Planning the perfect day trip from Nice? Join us as we explore the stunning French Riviera coastline, from the medieval charm of Eze Village to the high-stakes glamour of Monaco and Monte-Carlo.
Even though weβve visited these places dozens of times, our local guide Chris managed to show us sides of the CΓ΄te d’Azur we never knew existed. In this video, weβre sharing those secret insider spots, “backstairs” routes, and untold stories that you won’t find in your average guidebook.
π Whatβs inside this Riviera Tour:
Nice to Eze: Driving the scenic Basse and Moyenne Corniche and finding the closest sandy beach to Nice (a true pro-tip!).
Eze Village: Discovering the Jardin Exotique and the best time to visit to beat the crowds.
Monaco & Monte-Carlo: A deep dive into “The Rock,” the Changing of the Guards, the famous Fairmont F1 Hairpin, and a secret 60-cent espresso!
Insider Logistics: How to navigate Monaco like a local and why a weekend visit might be your best bet.

Hello from Nice! Which is your favourite Day Trip on the French Riviera? π«π·
Beautiful film, beautiful views. Kris is the best guide on the French Riviera π₯³π«π·ππ₯°.
I hate being in a hurry. LOL
Great video . We have always bypassed Monaco or viewed it from a distance but this has convinced me to visit next time we are in the area .
Never been to the French Riviera or Monaco. For now, Iβm settling for the videos π
