Family Adventures on the French Riviera

Monaco

• Oceanographic Museum of Monaco: A beautiful aquarium featuring sharks, sea turtles and a rainbow of colorful fish. Your kids will go wild for the touch tank, where they can get up close with sea creatures.

• Changing of the guard at the Prince’s Palace: Step into a fairy tale at the royal palace! And don’t miss the daily changing of the guard at 11:55 am.

• Larvotto Beach: A kid-friendly, sandy beach with calm waters. Keep in mind that most beaches in this area are rocky!

Antibes

• Marineland Antibes: From splashy shows to hands-on experiences, your kids will love to meet dolphins, killer whales, sea lions and sharks.

• Fort Carré: Pretend you’re a knight in shining armor or a damsel in distress as you explore this medieval fortress.

Cannes

• Le Petit Train de Cannes: The perfect way to sightsee when you’ve got little legs in tow! This little train takes you around Cannes, learning all about the town without too much walking.

• La Bocca Adventure Park: Kids (and parents, too!) can climb, zip-line and explore nature at this treetop ropes course that's ideal for adventurers ages five and up.

• La Môme Plage: Whether you want to work on your tan, build sand castles, eat delicious food or go waterskiing, this beach club has it all!

Nice

• La Promenade des Anglais: Rent a bike or scooter and ride along the stunning waterfront. Don’t forget to stop by Parc Phoenix, a huge botanical park where you can enter a butterfly house and meet flamingos and turtles.

• Musée d’Histoire Naturelle: Dinosaur lovers, this one’s for you! This museum is filled with fossils and interactive exhibits.

• The Grill at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc: This spot serves up a chic dining experience with a dash of Mediterranean magic and stunning views overlooking the ocean — definitely a bucket-list meal.

• Mamo Michelangelo: Nestled in the streets of Antibes’ old city is this authentic Italian spot. You may even get lucky and spot a celebrity or two!

• Cipriani: A stylish Italian restaurant located in Monaco. The vibe is lively, but relaxed, making it perfect for a family dinner.

• Le Vesuvio: Located on the Croisette in Cannes, this spot is perfect for a casual and delicious meal with the family, with a warm and inviting ambiance.

• Plage Keller: Picture fresh Mediterranean food served right by the water with your feet in the sand. With a menu that appeals to everyone, it’s an ideal spot for a family meal.

• La Môme Cannes: For families who want to enjoy a meal with a side of excitement, La Môme offers Mediterranean food with French flair, along with a full-on celebration! Music, singing and dancing surround you as you are bound to be swept up by the festive energy that fills the air.

• La Petite Maison de Nice: This spot is known for its authentic French cuisine, but it’s its live music that takes it to the next level. A live band goes table-to-table taking requests for songs and gets the party started.

• Grand Marnier Crêperie: If you’re looking for a quick snack while walking around Juan les Pins (in Antibes), check out Grand Marnier. My personal favorite is nutella, strawberries and powdered sugar.
