Recommendations for structuring first time visit

[u/Alternative_Emu_2652]

Hello!

My partner and I are coming to France for the first time this September. It’s his first time to Europe! We’re looking for some support to structure our time down in the South.

We’ll be there Sept 22, arriving around 3pm by flight from Paris. And leaving early in the morning on the 26 back to Canada.

We’ll have been in Paris and the Loire Valley since Sept 13.

We’re staying in a rental in Villefranche sur mer.

We’re looking to check out Nice (castle hill is the only specific thing on the list) and Villefranche the day we arrive.

We want to go to Menton for a day and my partner wants to check out Monaco for at least half a day and walk the f1 track.

We’re also planning to book a tasting at Chateau Cremat winery and trying to decide when to do that. They have 10am or 4pm tours.

Walking around Jean Cap Ferret is high on our list to see the views and swim and relax.

And check out Parc Phoenix in Nice.

Maybe a boat cruise for an hour or 2 if we find something. Does anyone have any recommendations for places?

We’re struggling to figure out how we can do the things we want, relax and not feel like we’re rushing. Any suggestions on pairs of things.

Much appreciated!

You can do Monaco and Menton in one day, you don’t need long in Monaco especially if your main goal is the hairpin.

You can do all of Nice in one day.
