  • Days 1-2

    Lyon

    Start your journey in France's food capital. Arrive early afternoon to skip airport traffic on the A6. Visit the UNESCO-listed Basilica Notre-Dame de Fourvière before 9 AM to avoid crowds and get the best morning photos. Skip the steep climb in hot weather and take the funicular from Vieux Lyon instead. Spend time exploring the old town's traboules (hidden passageways). Plan lunch at a traditional bouchon between 12-2 PM when the atmosphere is most lively.

    
  • Day 3

    Vienne

    Head south to this historic Roman city. Visit the ancient theater in the morning before it gets too hot, as there's minimal shade. Cool off in the archaeological museum during the afternoon. The medieval streets are uneven, so good walking shoes are essential.

    
  • Day 4

    Tournon

    This riverside town is perfect for experiencing Rhône Valley wine country. Start your vineyard hike early to beat the heat. The trail is steep in parts but offers fantastic valley views. Visit the 16th-century castle later for some shade and local history.

    
  • Days 5-6

    Viviers & Avignon

    Start in Viviers' medieval cathedral area, then move on to Avignon. Book your Palais des Papes tickets online and arrive 30 minutes early to avoid lines. Take an evening walk along the Rhône to see the lit-up palace and Pont d'Avignon. Try canoeing the river if water levels allow for unique bridge views.

    
  • Days 7-8

    Arles to Nice

    See Arles' Roman amphitheater first thing in the morning. Pick up a map from the tourist office to find Van Gogh's painting spots throughout the city. The drive to Nice takes about 3 hours along the Mediterranean, with plenty of beaches to stop at.

    
  • Days 9-10

    Nice & Monaco

    Stay in Nice's old town area. Visit the Cours Saleya morning market for breakfast before it gets crowded. Take the train to Monaco instead of driving. Plan to see the changing of the guard at the palace at 11:55 AM.

    
  • Day 11

    Book early flights from Nice's airport. Allow at least 30 minutes for the taxi ride to avoid traffic on the coastal road.
