A single article to help you explore five cities in southern France with Nice as the center.

There are many cities in the world that are close to the sea, but only the small towns in southern France are large enough. Nice is the axis of southern France, connecting domestic and international routes. 20 minutes north is the "friendly country" of Monaco. Because of my love for Charles Leclerc, I always want to find the waves where he jumped into the sea with champagne foam after winning F1. Further north is Menton, a lemon-yellow town. It is said that when a certain Z female celebrity gets a hot photo, everyone will imitate the same way to check in. Before it became an internet-famous town, it was already a holiday destination, a place hidden in the northernmost corner of southern France, just a few hours' drive from Italy. Back to Nice, this time heading south. 10 minutes south is Antibes, where the Cap hiking route is breathtakingly beautiful in the sunshine. It is recommended to go counterclockwise for this adventure. The appetizer only takes 10 minutes. After passing through the path surrounded by trees, a small sandy beach backed by rocks suddenly appears in front of you. Here you can see the sparkling sea and everything beautiful with a warm yellow halo in the afternoon sun. Continue 20 minutes south to the famous Cannes. You will think of the red carpet, the film festival, the Palme d'Or, and the Monroe Wall. Cannes also has wider streets and a more modern urban layout. It also hosts most of the international events in southern France. It is the postcard of southern France. As night falls, what could be more appropriate than watching an outdoor movie here? Back to Nice, a place less than 2 hours from the UK, is like a backyard. Even a weekend is very suitable, but what makes me go back again and again is the chickpea pancake there. The thin oil pancake made of chickpea puree with a crispy texture is taken out of the stone oven, and there is nothing but satisfaction. This is also a specialty food that is only available in Nice. Remember this store name, Chez Pipo, because it is freshly made and the slow pace of France, it is recommended to order as soon as you are seated. There is also the Bay of Angels along the Promenade des Anglais. It may sound cliché, but watching the sunrise or sunset here is really beautiful. Bellanda Tower is still the best viewing platform, opening at 8 o'clock. If you get up early, you can enjoy the whole platform alone and imagine owning the whole city.
