If you have already explored Nice and Cannes and
love the French Riviera, why not discover further holiday
destinations on the ever beautiful Cote d'Azur that spans from
the pretty town of Menton close to the Italian border in the
east, to the sea port of Toulon in the west. Almost all of the
destinations below are served by the Marseille to Ventimiglia
railway line with the exception of Saint Tropez and Sainte Maxime
where bus travel or car hire will be necessary.
Many visitors to the French Riviera arrive at Nice Cote d'Azur
International Airport, St Augustin railway station is a fifteen
minute walk from the airport, but this is not recommended if you
are carrying heavy luggage or it is dark due to crime issues. The
best option is to take the airport bus to Gare Nice Ville railway
station if traveling east towards Monaco and Menton or the bus
towards Cannes if traveling west and transfer to the railway
depending on your final destination. If your flight arrives late
in the evening or departs early in the morning consider staying
one night at either the Suitehotel
Nice Aeroport or the Hotel
Campanile Nice Airport , both are only a few minutes from the
airport terminal.
