What's Included

Rick Steves Snapshot: Nice & the French Riviera contains the complete chapters on this region, excerpted from Rick's full-size Provence & the French Riviera guidebook — and leaves out the chapters on Provence. So if all you want is the best of the French Riviera, this compact Snapshot guide delivers everything you'll need to know — for about half the price and half the bulk.

Inside you'll find in-depth, Rick-tested information on the best sights, hotels, and restaurants for:

Nice

  • Several self-guided walks and museum tours

Villefranche-sur-Mer

Monaco and Nearby

  • The Three Corniches (including Cap Ferrat, Eze-le-Village, and Le Trophée des Alps)
  • Menton

Antibes

Cannes

St-Tropez

Inland Riviera

  • St-Paul-de-Vence
  • Vence
  • Grasse
  • Grand Canyon du Verdon

And more

  • Easy-to-follow maps
  • Advice on planning your time
  • Transportation tips for connecting each stop by car or bus and train
  • Sidebars on the region's history, culture, and art treasures
  • Handy French survival phrases
  • Basic tips on managing money, communicating, reserving rooms, handling emergencies, and other helpful hints
Is this the right book for me?

Should I get this Snapshot guide in addition to Rick's complete Provence & the French Riviera guidebook?

Nope! Our Snapshot guides are simply excerpted chapters from our full-length guidebooks. Snapshot: Nice & the French Riviera covers the exact same topics as the Riviera chapters of the complete Rick Steves Provence & the French Riviera guidebook — the same hotels, same restaurants, same sightseeing information, same everything. (But the full-length Provence & French Riviera guidebook, now in its 16th edition, is more up to date than this Snapshot guide, which was excerpted from the Provence & Riviera book's 14th edition. Check our France guidebook updates for the most noteworthy changes.)

Should I get this Snapshot guide in addition to Rick's complete France or Best of France guidebook?

That depends on how deeply you want to dive into the region. Rick Steves France and Rick Steves Best of France include condensed coverage of our favorite Riviera stops — enough for a quick trip. But the Snapshot guide is worthwhile if you'd like more comprehensive coverage of the region, or any information on Menton, Cannes, or St-Tropez (none of which are included in France or Best of France — and Best of France also omits the Three Corniches and Inland Riviera entirely).
