Cote D'Azur: Nice and Cannes

Nice to Cannes rail trip along the French Riviera

Railbookers runs Cote D'Azur: Nice and Cannes, a 7-day, 6-night independent rail vacation along the French Riviera. The first three nights are spent in Nice, with time to walk the seafront and explore the Promenade des Anglais, Place Massena, and Vieux Nice at leisure. Day 3 is a day trip to Monaco, taking in the Monte Carlo casino, the Grand Prix circuit, Prince's Palace, the Oceanographic Museum, and Port Hercule. On day 4, a short 30-minute SNCF train carries travelers along the coast to Cannes for three more nights, where Le Suquet's ruined castle, the Old Town, and La Croisette Boulevard are within walking distance. A second Monaco excursion on day 5 follows the scenic Moyenne Corniche via Eze and La Turbie, and day 6 includes a boat trip to the Iles de Lerins. With a single short rail leg and two organized Monaco day trips, the vacation suits independent explorers and photographers drawn to Riviera coastline and glamour.

Price history

Across 4 checks, this price has risen US$120 since 4 Jul, to US$769.

Each point is a day we checked this operator's own page, not a weekly average, and the line holds flat between checks rather than guessing at movement we did not see. 3 of 4 points are a live read of the operator's page. Hollow points are values shown when the trip was first listed here and never confirmed with the operator.

What to know before you look closer

There are 12 accommodation options listed across tiers and cities rather than one fixed hotel; the specific property in Nice and Cannes depends on the tier selected.
Only one direct rail leg connects the two base cities, a 30-minute Nice to Cannes journey; the two Monaco day trips are described as a scenic journey and a drive rather than named train rides.
Monaco is visited twice, once from Nice on day 3 and again via a Cannes-based corniche drive on day 5.
