Nice itinerary with a toddler

Hi, my husband and I are spending 3 days in Nice. We would love advice on our itinerary. We planned our first day, Sunday, in Nice to tour the city. Monday, I was thinking Villefranche and St Jean Cap Ferrat. Monaco is so close- I was wondering if we would have time for that too. Last full day is Tuesday- would love to be able to go to Cannes and perhaps Saint Paul de Vence. Would you happen to know if it’s baby friendly?

In short-

Sunday:
Nice

Monday:
Villefranche
St Jean Cap Ferrat
Monaco

Tuesday:
St Paul de Vence
Cannes

Thanks for the advice!

St-Paul de Vence is a lovely town filled with art galleries. Will the baby be in a backpack?
I would skip Cannes and Monaco.

How old will the baby/toddler be when this trip occurs?

How far along will in your pregnancy will you be? ( gleaned from another of your posts)

Hi, my baby is 21 months and we have a travel stroller. I’m 7 months along in my pregnancy.
Why skip Cannes and Monaco? Not sure how to reply directly on this forum. Any tips?

actually Monaco works well. Depending on how often you need to sit down or visit facilities Monaco is excellent. Also the three dimensionalness which I love so much there (Monaco one of my favourite cities, unlike many here, and no - I am neither rich or super rich) is made very easy for parents of toddlers or pregnant ladies because there are tons of benches and almost every staircase, even short ones, is accompanied by a public elevator or escalator. Escalators going both up and down unlike elsewhere in other European countries where there is sometimes only an escalator in one direction.

A stroll through the Rose Garden or the Japanese Garden or the Jardin Exotique would be great for the parents and the munchkin. Or a stroll around either the big marina or the little one.

see, now you've got me wound up....

Why skip Cannes and Monaco? Because you have too much in your itinerary to do with a toddler!
Plus, we didn’t care for either of those places.
Nap time? Meals? Time to run around? Possible melt downs? And I didn’t realize you that are pregnant. Slow down and enjoy fewer locations well. Less is more!!
