Having trouble choosing between them. I’m in my late 20s, speak intermediate French. I will have about 5-7 nights (I am doing this region as part of a bigger trip, so can move things if need be). Let’s just assume I have 6 nights. Starting in early July (so next month).
The castles in Avignon just look AMAZING, and I loved learning about Van Gogh and I know Arles inspired him.
However, Côte D’Azur looks absolutely beautiful and a lot of really cool towns too like Menton, Eze, Saint Tropez, Nice. Appreciate the input! Yeah I saw pictures of all these towns on the riviera and it appears there’s a lot to see and do.
Would it be doable to split 3 nights in each Nice and Avignon, (or 4 Nice/2 Avignon), or would that be a lot of moving around? Eze, Menton, Villefranche sur mer, Saint Tropez, Monaco, Nice, all look amazing.
My only concern is if it’s super similar to the Amalfi coast. I went there and I felt the vibes were more for couples and while I did a hike there, it didn’t really feel like a great place to be solo (as the whole vibe was romantic)
Would I have enough time to combine both or would it be better to pick one or the other? Maybe I could do 2 nights in Avignon and 4 nights in Nice? Or would that be pushing things? Should I just pick one area? And if so what would you recommend between Avignon area and Côte D’Azur?
Having trouble deciding an itinerary, any advice appreciated!
