Most trips get planned backwards — a list of sights first, a pace forced to fit around them. We start from the other end: how slow can this go, and what does that make room for.
Every route here is one we'd actually take. No stop is included because it photographs well; it's included because it's worth the time it costs.

Two or three places, never more
A route that tries to cover a whole region ends up covering none of it properly. We'd rather you know two towns well than four towns from a car window.
-
Built around rest, not just sights
An empty afternoon is part of the itinerary, not a gap in it. The best hour of a trip is often the one with nothing scheduled.

Real places to eat and stay
Every recommendation is somewhere we'd send a friend — not a list pulled together to fill space.
Menton & Antibes — two towns, one long exhale
A four-day wander along the quietest stretch of the French Riviera, from Menton's pastel stairways to the harbour light of Antibes. Built for couples who'd rather sit somewhere than see everything.
