For budget-conscious travelers, the French Riviera offers plenty. Hiking the coastal paths, like the Sentier du Littoral, provides stunning views for free.

Beyond the glitz, discover hidden gems. The charming medieval village of Gourdon, perched high in the hills, offers breathtaking panoramic views.
