Discover the French Riviera
Advice from Maurice to make your stay a success
My name is Maurice.
If you enjoy discovering a region in a way other than through a tourist guide, you've come to the right place.
For many years, I have lived in Antibes and here I share the places, walks and good addresses that I gladly recommend to my friends and family.
I hope my advice will make your stay as pleasant as possible.
Why this guide?
The internet is full of information.
You can easily find museum opening hours, parking rates or shop opening hours.
However, it is more difficult to know:
• Which beach to choose as a family;
• where to admire the most beautiful panorama;
• What time is best to visit Antibes to avoid the crowds?
• where to have a simple, but very good lunch;
• which walk is really worth the detour.
That is precisely the objective of this guide.
I am not trying to present all the tourist sites in the region.
I simply want to share the ones I love the most and that I recommend without hesitation to my loved ones.
An exceptional region

• the villages of Biot, Mougins, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Gourdon or Èze;

Don't try to see everything.
The French Riviera is a region best appreciated by taking your time.
