Holiday ideas-France

Go to Monaco & Nice (for beaches)

And of course the best place to ask is in the Riyadh forum

Don't be so narrow-minded- I can ask any question here...

I am sure there are people out there who can suggest something...Am I wrong?

Hi , I am originally from the North-East of France but I've spent almost 1 year in the French Riviera. In summer, it is absolutely wonderful. You've got tons of beaches so it is not very croweded. You can go anywhere you want for Marseille to Nice since you've got the train stopping in each town.

I would advise you to make a French Riviera road trip from Marseille to Ventimiglia (Italy) going trough Toulon, Saint-Raphael, Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Nice, Monaco and little villages. You've got nature (Verdon gorges), wild beaches, very good climate, people are really nice and you've got any food you want.


Also, if you heard about Couchsurfing, CSers are really active their and organize a lot of events (especially in Nice)

I second Krysman25, for beaches, the French-Italian Riviera  is the best.  Everybody knows  about  the big cities like Nice,Cannes, Monaco..Ets (they are all like 1h on the train from eachother) , but let me give you some names of villages that I have visited and they will make you Crayyy.. Mountainous villages near  Nice; St.Paul de vence , Eze, Haut de Cagnes and the costal town of villefranche sur mer.

By the way, its not Golden sandie beaches..it's more of hard blak-rocks kind of beaches.

If I were you , I will  try to also go to Italy and see Portofino and hike the five villages of Linque Terre.

True that water is nice, but sand not that much ^^.

Its is either stony beach or "big grain" sand (not as thin as Saudi arabia sand ^^)


True also that you have really nice picturesque villages you can visit.

Also don't forget the French alps especially Chamonix-Mont Blanc.

Also if you are going to Paris , it will be worth it to take a day trip to Brugge in Belgium (will send you my address for the Belgium chocolate  ) and another day trip to Amsterdam

I think that you're going to make an Eurotrip Ruby ^^

She said few weeks  and money is no issue... So tons of time and resources to go around and enjoy Europe (and buy chocolate for bloggers back in Saudi )

and some good French cheese and croissant !

And that's 2

bring some cheese for me
