French Riviera luxury itinerary: Monaco and the coast

A realistic multi-day shape across Monaco, Èze, Cap-Ferrat, Antibes and Cannes.

Updated 2026-08-01 · Researched and reviewed by the Monaco Private Desk editorial team

Quick answer

Base yourself in one or two places rather than moving daily. Monaco plus one western base (Cap-Ferrat, Antibes or Cannes) covers the coast comfortably over four to five days.

Choosing your base

Monaco suits evenings and formality; Cap-Ferrat and Antibes suit slower days and swimming.

Coastal days

Èze village, Villefranche and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat make natural half-days from Monaco.

Getting between towns

Rail along the coast is efficient. Road times vary widely in July and August.
