At a glance
The French Riviera blends coastline, culture, and an upwardly mobile social scene that feels unmistakably European, moving from the relaxed of Nice to the wealth of Monaco and the beach clubs of Saint-Tropez.
This itinerary is designed to flow naturally, with just two bases and enough time in each to settle in properly. Expect private transfers, carefully timed experiences, and reservations that make the difference between a good trip and a seamless one.

It is also well suited to LGBTQ+ travelers. The Riviera has long been a magnet for artists, socialites, and couples seeking romance.
The French Riviera's reputation as the defining luxury destination of the European imagination was built over two centuries and has never really been dislodged. British aristocrats wintering in Nice in the nineteenth century established the template, the railway opened it to a wider moneyed class, and by the turn of the century the grands hotels, the Casino at Monte Carlo, and the villas above the coast had set the tone for everything that followed.
The Americans arrived in the 1920s, Picasso, Hemingway, and Cole Porter among them, drawn to the light and the ease of life that the Riviera offered in a way nowhere else in Europe quite matched.
The Cannes Film Festival, launched in 1946, added a cinematic layer that proved remarkably durable. What that history has left behind is a coast that understands luxury at a level most destinations are still learning. The hotels, the restaurants, the sense of occasion that comes with an evening on a terrace above the sea: the Riviera has been refining all of it for longer than anywhere else, and it shows.
Day by day
This is a sample plan, not a fixed departure. Days can be added, removed or reordered, and almost every client changes something. Prices are an entry-level guide; your quote will be exact.
Day 1: Arrival in Nice
Arrive into Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, where a private transfer will take you to your hotel in Nice or nearby Cap d’Antibes.
After check-in, take time to unwind before heading out for a relaxed dinner in the Old Town.
Day 2: Nice and the Coast
Begin the day with breakfast overlooking the sea, followed by time to explore Nice at your own pace. Walk through the Old Town, browse local markets, or stroll along the Promenade des Anglais.
In the afternoon, head to a private beach club where loungers and lunch are arranged in advance. Spend the rest of the day by the water before returning to your hotel to freshen up ahead of dinner.
Day 3: Monaco Day Trip
Travel by private driver to Monaco for a day that feels distinctly different from the rest of the coast.
Visit Casino Square, explore the harbor lined with yachts, and take time to walk through the Old Town. Lunch can be arranged in Monaco, or you may prefer to return to Nice for a more relaxed evening.
Day 4: Èze and the Riviera
Set out along the coastline with a stop in Èze, a hilltop village known for its views over the Mediterranean.
After exploring, continue along the coast with time built in for scenic stops before returning to your hotel. The afternoon is left open to enjoy at your own pace.
Day 5: Transfer to Saint-Tropez
Leave Nice behind and transfer by private vehicle to Saint-Tropez. The journey itself becomes part of the experience, following one of the most scenic stretches of coastline in France.
On arrival, check into your hotel and spend the evening exploring Saint-Tropez at a relaxed pace.
Day 6: Beach Club Day
Today is centered around the beach club experience that defines Saint-Tropez. Reserved loungers and lunch are arranged at Club 55 or a similar venue.
Settle in for a long afternoon by the water, where lunch naturally extends into the rest of the day. In the evening, return to town for dinner.
Day 7: Private Yacht Experience
Spend the day on a private boat exploring the coastline from the water. Cruise along hidden coves, stop for swims, and enjoy the flexibility of having no fixed schedule.
There is the option to arrive at a beach club by boat or remain on board for a more private experience.
Day 8: Departure
After a final morning on the coast, transfer back to Nice Airport for your departure.
