Love traveling but hate planning?

You’ve been dreaming of the French Riviera’s azure waters and picturesque villages, but the thought of planning it all feels overwhelming.

The endless options for accommodations, the confusion about transportation between coastal towns, and the fear of missing hidden gems or falling into tourist traps keep you from booking your dream vacation.

The sheer number of must-see destinations along the coast makes creating an itinerary that balances relaxation and exploration nearly impossible.

You’re spending countless hours researching, yet still feeling uncertain about your choices.

With insider knowledge and personalized attention, you can discover the authentic Côte d’Azur while still enjoying the iconic experiences that make this destination legendary.

If you don’t have the time or the energy to craft a balanced itinerary that matches your travel plans or search for a place to stay that ticks all your boxes, then why not outsource it to me? It’ll save you hours of research!

Bonjour

I’m Sarah, Your French Riviera Travel Specialist

The French Riviera has been my summer playground for as long as I can remember. From my first roller-skating experiences to carefree party years to romantic getaways with my husband family fun with our teenage girls.

As a certified French language teacher living nearby, I’ve cultivated a deep connection with this coastline that has been a part of every chapter of my life.

My career path through hospitality, event planning, and international student support enabled me to master the art for creating exceptional travel experiences. I know what makes a truly memorable vacation.

My mission is simple: to transform your French Riviera dreams into memories that last a lifetime, without the stress of planning it all yourself.

Let’s break it down

Here’s What’s Waiting For You in the Bespoke Itinerary package

Step 1

Initial video consultation

Tell me all about your travel dreams, preferences, and must-see destinations in a 30-minute video call. I’ll learn about your accommodation style, dining preferences, activity level, special interests, and budget to create a foundation for your personalized plan.

I work my magic

Based on our consultation, I’ll craft a day-by-day itinerary that balances your wishlist with practical logistics. I’ll handpick accommodations that check all your boxes, figure out the fastest transportation options, and select activities and hidden gems that match your unique travel style while keeping your budget in mind.

Step 2

Step 3

Custom itinerary delivery & refinement

After developing your personalized plan, I’ll deliver your comprehensive PDF itinerary, complete with all recommendations and detailed suggestions, via email. You’ll then have the opportunity to review everything and request one round of revisions to ensure it perfectly matches your vision.

You make the bookings as suggested

Once you’re completely satisfied with the itinerary, you can move forward with finalizing the arrangements for your dream French Riviera experience. Your personalized plan includes direct links to all suggested accommodations, restaurants, tours, and transportation options.

Step 4

  • You’re short on time to research and plan your perfect trip.
  • You appreciate personalized service and attention to detail.
  • You’re celebrating a special occasion and want everything to be perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions

For the best experience, I recommend booking at least 3-4 months before a planned trip in low or shoulder season and 6-8 months before a planned trip in peak season (May-September).

This ensures availability at the best accommodations, tours and restaurants. Plus, it makes for more accurate price estimations.

However, I can work with shorter timeframes when needed.

I create customized experiences for various budgets, from moderate to luxury.

During our initial consultation, we’ll discuss your comfort level and expectations to ensure your itinerary matches both your dreams and your budget. My goal is to maximize value at every price point.

Unlike traditional travel agents who may have limited personal experience with the destination, I live and breathe the French Riviera. I provide insider knowledge, personal recommendations, and transportation logistics insights that only a local specialist can offer.

However, note that I make no bookings on your behalf, but instead provide you with all the direct links to make the booking process effortless.

My go-to accommodation booking partners are Booking.com and VRBO and the tour platforms of my choice are GetYourGuide and Viator. 


Absolutely! While comprehensive planning ensures the most seamless experience, I also offer à la carte services.

Whether you need help with accommodation recommendations or day trip planning, I can customize my services to meet your specific needs.

Terms of Service for French Riviera Travel Planning packages

Last updated: April 16, 2025

Bonjour! I’m so happy you’re considering letting me help plan your stay on the beautiful French Riviera. Below you’ll find a few important notes to clarify what’s included, how I work, and where my responsibilities begin and end, just to keep things smooth for both of us.

1. Scope of Service

Nice & Beyond offers personalized French Riviera travel planning services, including curated accommodation suggestions, itinerary advice, and one-on-one consults. I do not act as a travel agent and do not make bookings on your behalf. You are responsible for all final reservations and payments.

2. What You’ll Receive

Each package clearly states what is included, whether it’s a one-off consult, handpicked places to stay, or a fully personalized itinerary. You’ll receive a digital document or email with tailored suggestions and booking links.

3. Turnaround Time

Each package clearly states the turnaround time. Here’s an summary:

  • Bespoke Itinerary: Upon booking, you can plan the video consultation in my agenda. I’ll deliver your custom itinerary within 10 days after that initial video call.
  • Stay Somewhere Special: I typically deliver your recommendations within 3–5 days of receiving your completed questionnaire.
  • Start Smart: Upon booking, you can plan the video consultation in my agenda. I typically deliver your follow-up notes within 3–5 days.

4. Revisions

The Bespoke Itinerary and Stay Somewhere Special packages include one round of light tweaks or clarifications on the condition that you send me clear instructions within 10 days after receiving my recommendations. Substantial changes (e.g., different towns, shifting dates, new preferences) may require a new planning fee. The Start Smart package is a one-off live video consultation and therefore doesn’t include any tweaks or revisions.

  • Start Smart: The refund deadline is 24 hours before the start of the video consultation.

Please note that if you’re eligible for a refund, an administrative fee of €20 will be deducted to cover PayPal transaction charges.

If you’re unhappy, please reach out via sarah@niceandbeyond.com. I’ll always do my best to find a kind and fair solution.
