Welcome to the French Riviera, a Sparkling Jewel in France's Crown. A layover destination that you'll remember long after you've left.

Nice is a popular base for crews, primarily because of its convenient airport parking options. For those who find themselves in Hyères, Les Pesquiers offers chic accommodation complete with private hot tubs and bikes, ideal for a ride to the nearby topless beach—yes, you read that right. Just make sure your phone is charged for all the photo ops and grab a map for easy navigation!

Gourmet Supplies and Exquisite Dining

If your layover extends to Saint-Tropez, its charming town center provides a good range of grocery shopping and supplies for the plane. In Nice, don't miss the chance to dine at Olivera, where you'll want to take home a bottle or two of their heavenly house olive oil. The main stretch of eateries in Nice is an entertaining locale, complete with street fire dancers that will leave you amazed. For a hands-on culinary experience, consider a cooking class with Les Petits Farcis. Coco Green and Caju are must-visit vegetarian restaurants, but make sure to reserve a table at Coco Green in advance.

Wellness OptionsFor those in need of some holistic therapy, consider booking an acupuncture session with Julian. If you're looking for active relaxation, the Bikram Yoga sessions on the beaches of Nice are an experience to cherish.
