Day Trips from Nice?

Will be in Nice for 5 days in June with a rental car. Looking for day trips. Plan one day in Aix en Provence and another in Cannes/St. Tropez. Not interested in Monte Carlo.

Quaint villages would be nice.

Do try to visit Saint Paul de Vence. It is a delightful hilltop village full of intereting shops, lovely views and nearby you can also visit the Foundation Maeght art exhibitions and see Modigliani sculptures and works by various local artists.

Eze is also worth a visit. It has a stunning cactus garden and spectacular views of the coastline.

Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and the Villa Kerylos merit visiting too. They are both truly beautiful.

Antibes is our favourite town apart from Nice. Nice harbour full of yachts and a quaint Old Town.

Wherever you go, enjoy this amazing area!!

It%26#39;s really easy to get into the perched villages in the Maritime Alps behind Nice - Peille and Peillon are supposed to be superb. Also, Villefranche sur Mer is small but beautiful - you could combine that with a trip to Eze. Menton beyond Monaco is also recommended.
