French Riviera is an amazing place. Any time of the year you will decide to visit it - weather will be lovely, sea will look stunning and you will always have a great food. There is a reason why in the last century rich people of Europe was spending their winter, or pension in French Riviera. It is up to you in which city you will choose to live. We'd chosen Nice, as it is central, has airport, affordable and of course beautiful. 

Transport:

French Riviera has an amazing transportation system. They has buses which connects all the places and ride through the sea coast, so you can enjoy magnificent view.

As well you can choose taking train, they are faster of course, but less views. So you choose you 😉

Tickets for public transport cost 1.50€ per ticket. You can buy 10 tickets for 10 trips for 10€. Another option is 24 hours unlimited trips ticket for 5€.

Tag me in the photos/videos you will take - I'd love to see your experience! @annaberdysh
