"Cap d'Ail is located between Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Monaco, and it has been a choice of residence for some celebrities over the years, and certainly a beautiful hidden gem in the French Riviera. This place has a beautiful port right by the border with Monaco, stunning beaches and a coastal path"
"Close to both of the locations mentioned above (Villefranche-sur-Mer and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat), Beaulieu is a very small village that you probably didn't even know it exists in the French Riviera. It is a great hidden gem, often overlooked, that offers beautiful views to the hills, a small harbour"
"Not far from Villefrance-sur-Mer you can find Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, another beach paradise. Through the whole time we had in Nice, we spent our beach time in one of these two towns as they offer so much better conditions! I personally prefer the beach in Cap Ferrat as it has better views"
"This is an island can be reach by boat in 10min from the coast (Hyères), and it's a perfect escape for a beach day. It's blue turquoise waters are perfect for snorkelling and scuba diving, as well as sailing.
If you enjoy hiking, there will be plenty of opportunities to do it."
"Not far from Grasse (only half an hour drive), you can visit the perfect hidden gem of Gorges du Loup, a great spot for nature lovers."
"Senanque Abbey, a scenic monastery on a lavender field. If you decide to visit this site, make sure to read all of the information on their website since there are rules to visiting and a fee to be paid."
"Sainte-Marguerite, the largest island, contains the popular Fort Royal, a former prision (now a museum) where you can visit the cell of the mysterious "Man in the Iron Mask". If you love nature, then you might consider do some bird watching.
The smallest island has a large community of monks"
"not far from Grasse. If you love to explore quiet villages and great viewpoints, than this will be a great addition to your trip. Due to the fact that it stands quite high on a hill, great views are guaranteed."
