Save

Nice sits on the Mediterranean coast in the south of France, a city that folds together a historic old town, grand seafront architecture and a striking collection of churches, museums and monuments across its many neighbourhoods. Cannes sits on the French Riviera as a cosmopolitan seaside town of 74,545 people, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Marseille is France's second-largest city and a major Mediterranean port with deep historical roots. Lyon is a city of considerable historical weight and cultural depth.

Why it works

Rather than one city, this threads Nice, Cannes and Marseille and more into a single trip, so you see more of France in one go. Spend longest wherever suits you.
