French Riviera Walking Holidays

The Riviera works best from Nice, where the Cours Saleya market sells socca and pissaladiere and the Old Town opens early. From there it is a short hop to Eze on its crag, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, and the ramparts of Antibes. Walkers can arrive on foot: the GR5 and GR52 come down off the Mercantour to finish at Nice and Menton.
