by Mary Kay Seales, Duncan Koerber (Editor), Carlos J Martinez (Cover Design)

Do you think that the French Riviera is only for millionaires and movie stars? Are you looking for a new travel spot that will feed your soul with beauty and color? Are you looking for a beautiful place you can travel to alone and feel safe? This book will give you all you need to know for planning your first trip to the French Riviera, even if you’re on a budget like I am. Whether you’re a woman traveling alone, a couple on your first trip abroad, or a seasoned traveler who has never been to the South of France, this book will offer you tried and true suggestions for a fabulous vacation on the lovely blue Côte d’Azur. I have spent the past 15 years as a traveler, both for work and for pleasure. I have spent extended time not only on the French Riviera and Paris, but also in Central America, India, Azerbaijan, Israel, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, among many other places that I have gone simply for an adventure. The place I always long to return to, however, is this beautiful stretch of the Mediterranean coastline, the lovely sun-drenched French Riviera in the South of France. In this book you will find • Sample itineraries for one or two weeks on the French Riviera • Information on the basics such as money, finding a place to stay, when to go, and how to get around once you’re there • Suggestions for day trips and hikes along the coast • Helpful websites for researching your travel to the South of France • A quick reference guide for emergencies and safety You don’t have to be a movie star or a millionaire or a fashion model to visit the French Riviera, and you don’t need to speak French to have a wonderful vacation on the spectacular Côte d’Azur. I know after reading this book, you will feel more confident about planning your trip, and you can stop dreaming & start packing.

The guide is brief, but very practical, especially like the details of public transportations to different surrounding towns, cities. Highly recommended.
