Staying in either Eze or St. Jean Cap Ferrat for two nights at the end of April. Arriving at 3 pm on a Saturday.
Then off to St. Remy via Aix on Monday.
We will have a vehicle.
What are the "must sees" for this quick trip?

It really depends on what sort of sightseeing you like to do: scenic drives, gardens, art museums, the rich and famous, beautiful views, etc.

Stay in St. Jean Cap Ferrat! It is so beautiful there, my favorite place on the French Riviera. Second place for me is Antibes.
Eze is way up high on the hillside, not conducive to seeing other places. It is a day trip kind of place.

The St Jean Cap Ferrat area is gorgeous! You can walk along Promenade Maurice Rouvier just behind the Hotel Royal Riviera in Beaulieu sur Mer and you will see spectacular scenery as you walk to the shops below in St Jean. The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and gardens are nearby and you could have lunch at the tea room or terrace. The town of Villefranche sur Mer is also nearby and has a lovely shale beach and charming waterfront area with restaurants. If you stayed in St Jean Cap Ferrat you could still go to Eze for a couple of hours if you wish. Stop for a drink at the Chateau de la Chevre d'Or in Eze for magnificent views. The Jardin Exotique in Eze is a pretty cactus garden.

I am a huge fan of Antibes. Also the hike around Cap D' Antibes. Nice is a very short train ride from Antibes. Not sure if you would want to take the train all the way to Monaco (about an hour), but that of course is just taking in the glitz, view, and casino scene.
