Paris and the French Riviera

Paris and the French Riviera rail loop through three Mediterranean towns

Railbookers operates this 11-day, 10-night independent rail package that loops from Paris down to the French Riviera and back. Travelers spend nights in Saint Raphael, Cannes, and Nice along the Mediterranean coast, taking day trips to Saint-Tropez and Monaco before returning to Paris for a final night. The description frames the route around the contrast between the romance of Paris and the glitz and glamour of the Riviera towns. As an independent rather than an escorted trip, travelers move between stops by train and manage their own sightseeing once they arrive, rather than following a guide. The package does not specify how nights split between the three Riviera towns or how many nights open the trip in Paris. Starting from $1,949 per person, this trip suits independent-minded travelers and couples drawn to the Riviera's reputation for glamour who want to see several coastal towns by train.

What to know before you look closer

  • Saint-Tropez and Monaco are visited as day trips in this package, not overnight stops; only Saint Raphael, Cannes, and Nice are named as places where nights are spent along the Riviera.
  • The description confirms one final night back in Paris, but does not say how the remaining nights split between Saint Raphael, Cannes, and Nice, or how many nights open the trip in Paris; confirm the schedule with Railbookers before booking.
