In October we will be going to the French Riviera from Paris for five full days. We will be using trains and buses. We are thinking of staying in Nice or Villefranche-sur-Mer for six nights and exploring the museums there and enjoying the scenery in the area and taking some seaside walks and taking some day trips. Does that sound reasonable or should we split our time with another coastal city like Antibes and finish in Nice as that is where we are flying out of?

I just loved staying in Villefranche as a base for the day trips you describe- so very easy by bus or train and the walk to Monaco was memorable. Caveat- what time of year? I was there 15+ years ago for 5 days and those when the large cruise ships anchored made public transportation more challenging and the town more crowded. Just to keep in mind when figuring out in which order to see what's on your list.
