About French Riviera Events

French Riviera Events publishes practical guides to the events, destinations, and travel logistics of the Côte d'Azur. The guides cover the major annual events — the Festival de Cannes, Monaco Grand Prix, Nice Carnival, Lemon Festival — as well as the coastal towns, seasonal patterns, and how to get around by train.

The site is text-forward and built for planning: no paywalls, no registration, no sponsored placements mixed into editorial. Guides are written to answer the questions visitors actually ask: when does it happen, where do things take place, how do I get there from Nice, what does a realistic day look like.

The Côte d'Azur by train

One thing we emphasise throughout is that the coastal railway between Nice and the Italian border connects most of the Riviera's main destinations in under an hour. Monaco is 22 minutes. Cannes is 35. Antibes is 20. Menton is 35. For visitors staying in Nice, day trips to every major event town are straightforward.

The getting here and getting around guides cover this in detail — including which ticket to buy, how the zones work, and what to expect at the stations during busy event weekends.

Staying in Vieux Nice

The site recommends one place to stay: Gilli, managed by Stay YNA — a two-bedroom apartment on the Cours Saleya in Vieux Nice, steps from the beach and the daily market. It is a personal recommendation, not a paid listing. The stay page explains what the apartment is like and when to book around the major events.

Privacy

The site sets no cookies and shows no ads. To understand which guides are useful, it counts page views and clicks with GoatCounter, a privacy-friendly analytics service: no cookies, no fingerprinting, no advertising identifiers, and no personal data stored — which is why there is no consent banner to dismiss. Links to external sites, including the Stay YNA booking pages, are ordinary links; what happens there is governed by those sites' own policies.
