Heads Up

Drive early around Monaco, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez; short distances can still take time in summer.

Don't overpay for every beach moment — mix one splurge with picnic-style beach stops.

Lavender is seasonal, usually best from late June to mid-July around Valensole.

Parking garages are often easier than hunting street spots in Riviera towns.

Keep swimsuits, water shoes, sunscreen, and a light evening layer in the car.
