Staying at the nearby Chateau Saint-Martin, I visited the old town / historic centre around 930am on a weekday. Several market stalls were still setting up, with most small shops within the old town (including bakery, fish shops, wine merchants, green grocers) having opened - or be in the process of doing so. At that time of the morning it was nice and quiet, which made for some great photo opportunities. Apparently it can get very busy later in the day.
2. Saint-Paul de Vence

Wonderful hilltop fortified town, stuffed with art galleries. The place is infused with some of the great names of modern art (Marc Chagall is buried in the cemetery on the southern end of the town), but there is lots of interesting art by artists you may not have heard of, and the town has a great ambience. We stayed as a family in an airbnb in town, and it is nice in the evenings when the tourists have largely departed. However if I did it again I would perhaps stay nearby and do a day trip.
3. Tourrettes-sur-Loup - Village Medieval

Tourrettes-sur-Loup is most definitely worth several hours of anyone visit to the French Riviera. We traveled from St Paul de Vence, it’s just an easy thirty minutes drive through lovely countryside. We parked in the village square along side the locals playing Boules. Which ever way you walk in the narrow meandering streets you will want to take artsy photos. Keep going down and you will find a viewpoint with views right across to The Mediterranean Sea.
There is a Michelin started restaurant on one of the winding streets but it was closed for the season when we visited, but I will be back someday soon to give it a try.
Highly recommended village.

I followed one of Greg’s courses (switchbacks for dummies ;-)) in June 2014, and I would strongly recommend it.
- I learnt plenty of things and in a fun way. The coach is patient, and passes his knowledge in an understandable manner. Even somebody like me with a pathetic level managed to make the most of it, which is quite an achievement for the coach ;-)
- Greg (the coach) knows the Cote d’Azur like the back of his hand. He always has an unknown (to us) and fantastic trail up his sleeve to propose.
- Excellent value for money. Service is top notch (e.g brand new van)
Well, as a conclusion, I would add I registered for another outing in August (which is the best evidence of my positive feedback).

In the summer of 2016 I participated in a 2-day freediving course led by Jerome. I have some freediving experience already, and in my oppinion the course was very valuable to both new and experienced freedivers. We started with training on land and in the pool, followed by two days of great freediving in the mediteranean that allowed me to reset most of my personal records! I hope that I will get the chance to return. Highly recommended!

This famous street travels along Nice's Mediterranean waterfront.
Reviewed By Khato1 - Greater London, United Kingdom
We stayed at the Hotel West End few minutes walk from the front beach. It is actually in the Promenade des Angles. The road is busy specially in the rush hour. However the Promenade it's walkable and safe and when it's sunny, definitely you can spend hours.
