Hi everyone. I have a very short time in the french riviera and need some help planning. We have some flexibility but not too much. Here are my options. Suggestions would be fab!
Day 1 - Fly into Marseille (arrives around 6pm, unfortunately we cant make the earlier flight from barcelona) - drive to Aix en Provence for the night (I dont really want to see marseille but I love Aix)
Day 2 - Next Day get up early see a bit of Aix and do the drive from Aix to Antibes. My question is this, is this drive worth it? We love road trips but I am not sure where to stop and how long to take. It limits how much time we will have. We would presumably stop in St-Tropez and Cannes, again not sure if it's worth it. People say the drive is beautiful but slow so I am struggiling with this one.
Assuming we get to Antibes by noonish, spend the day here, this is where our hotel is
Day 3 - Monaco, Nice and Eze
Day 4 - Drive to Nice for the day, fly out of Nice that evening
My alternate option is to Skip the Marseille/Aix/road trip all together! Fly in and out of Nice, still keep Antibes as our home base and visit sites from there. The only thing i would be dissapointed in missing is Aix as I went there when I was very young (18, Im 40 now) and I loved it.
Your help is greatly appreciated!!
