Picnic on a Boat Tour French Riviera

The charming coastal village of Villefranche-sur-Mer in the French Riviera is one of the best Côte d’Azur destinations. And after spending almost two weeks in the town, I’m sharing my guide to visiting Villefranche-sur-Mer. This picture-perfect town exudes charm. Pastel-colored streets that wind up and down the hill lead right into the turquoise Mediterranean Sea.

Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat sits on a peninsula along the French Riviera with pastel-colored villas, beach coves for swimming and stunning views of the coastline. The once small town with a rugged landscape has evolved to now claim some of the most expensive real estate in the world.

Mala Beach at Cap d’Ail is, in every way, a gem on the Côte-d’Azur, located in a small bay at the foot of the town of Cap d’Ail, surrounded by azure waters and well hidden with 2 restaurants. It makes it something very special. With white steep slopes on one side and a beautiful hiking trail along the sea around Cap Mala on the other, this cozy stone and sand beach is incredibly beautifully situated.

Squeezed into just 200 hectares, Monaco might be the world’s second-smallest country (only the Vatican is smaller), but what it lacks in size it makes up for in attitude. A magnet for high-rollers and hedonists since the early 20th century, it's also home to the annual Formula One Grand Prix.
