September-October average sea temperature<\/strong><\/td>\n| 20\u00b0C to 22\u00b0C<\/td>\n | 25.1\u00b0C to 24.4\u00b0C<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n To sum up, the French Riviera is larger than the Amalfi Coast and there are twice as many beaches, although they are similar (sand and pebbles).<\/p>\n In both places, the landscapes are hilly. There are sometimes beautiful and colorful villages on the side of cliffs, and a multitude of small ports.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here is a non-exhaustive list of the best beaches on these coasts.<\/p>\n French Riviera:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Sablettes beach in Menton (close to the Italian border)<\/li>\n
- Mala beach in Cap d’Ail (often described as the most beautiful beach on the French Riviera)<\/li>\n
- Garoupe beach in Antibes (paradise place on the French Riviera)<\/li>\n
- Midi beach in Cannes (one of the largest sandy beaches on the French Riviera)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Amalfi coast:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Marina Grande (between colorful umbrellas and clear blue waters)<\/li>\n
- Gavitella beach (fabulous sunsets)<\/li>\n
- Marina di Vietri (a dazzling panorama)<\/li>\n
- Fornillo Beach (a peaceful spot on the Tyrrhenian Sea)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n Prices<\/h2>\nHere is a comparative table of prices (food, accommodation, transport, etc.) between the French Riviera and the Amalfi Coast:<\/p>\n \n\n\n| <\/td>\n | French Riviera<\/strong><\/td>\nAmalfi coast<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nLunch at a restaurant<\/strong><\/td>\n| \u20ac15.27<\/td>\n | \u20ac13.63<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nMovie ticket<\/strong><\/td>\n| \u20ac10.05<\/td>\n | \u20ac8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nCappuccino<\/strong><\/td>\n| \u20ac3<\/td>\n | \u20ac1.20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n1 Night in a 3 star hotel<\/strong><\/td>\n| \u20ac88<\/td>\n | \u20ac107<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n1 Night in a 5 star hotel<\/strong><\/td>\n| \u20ac408<\/td>\n | \u20ac339<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nBus ticket<\/strong><\/td>\n| \u20ac1.70<\/td>\n | \u20ac1.30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nCar rental\/day<\/strong><\/td>\n| \u20ac35<\/td>\n | \u20ac15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nTaxi\/km<\/strong><\/td>\n| \u20ac1.90<\/td>\n | \u20ac1.90<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n Summary<\/strong><\/p>\nThe cost of daily life is generally higher (20 to 30%) in France than it is in Italy.<\/p>\n We note that the price of luxury hotels is often higher on the French Riviera than on the Amalfi Coast.<\/p>\n Even if it is possible to find restaurants and hotels for all budgets on both of them, it should not be forgotten that these are popular destinations known for their high-end services. Prices are therefore higher on the coast than in the villages in the hinterland.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Transportation<\/h2>\nBoth the French Riviera and the Amalfi Coast extend through a multitude of small villages. You can easily get around by bus. And if these do not pass by the cities you want to visit, you can always rent a car or a scooter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n French Riviera<\/h3>\nBy opting for the Ticket Azur, you can travel at the single rate of \u20ac1.50 on the entire network (bus and tram). You can buy your tickets at agencies, on buses, at vending machines and at authorized retailers.<\/p>\n I would advise you to opt for a 10-ticket booklet costing \u20ac10 or for the 1-day pass for \u20ac5.<\/p>\n Lignes d\u2019Azur<\/a> (website in French) buses serve a large part of the French Riviera. The main seaside lines are lines 1, 2 and 6 (they cross through Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Cagnes-sur-Mer, Saint-Laurent-du-Var, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Eze, La Trinit\u00e9\u2026).<\/p>\nHowever, we recommend renting a car to fully enjoy the trip. For example, the Mobilize Share platform<\/a> (website in French), which is a 100% environmentally friendly car-sharing platform.<\/p>\nYou can book one of these electric vehicles by the hour or by the day. The little extra is that this platform is totally digital and self-service, a flexibility that will allow you to adjust your stay to any length.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Amalfi coast<\/h3>\nAll line changes are made in Amalfi. Just like in France, depending on the season, buses run very frequently between 6 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. (and until 11 p.m. on weekends).<\/p>\n There is a 1 or 3-day Unico Costiera<\/a> pass, valid on SITA buses and Circumvesuviana<\/a> trains.<\/p>\n![\"\u26a0\ufe0f\"](\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/14.0.0\/svg\/26a0.svg\") In Italy it is impossible to buy a ticket while you\u2019re on the bus, so you have to go to the kiosks or stations beforehand.<\/p>\n
Here the roads are winding and very quickly congested so I would advise you to rent a scooter to avoid traffic. You can easily rent one for 18\u20ac per day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Transport Price Table<\/h3>\n \n\n\n| <\/td>\n | French Riviera<\/strong><\/td>\nAmalfi coast<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nBus ticket<\/strong><\/td>\n| \u20ac1.70<\/td>\n | \u20ac1.30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nScooter rental\/day<\/strong><\/td>\n| Starting at \u20ac26<\/td>\n | Starting at \u20ac18<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n <\/p>\n Summary<\/strong><\/p>\nThe cost of transport is lower on the Amalfi Coast than it is on the French Riviera.<\/p>\n The traffic is much denser in Italy. Which can quickly become problematic, if you are the type to organize everything to the minute.<\/p>\n Note that the French Riviera is bigger, so it is best to plan some time to go from one point to another.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Activities<\/h2>\nFrench Riviera<\/h3>\nThe French Riviera is reputed to be the cradle of splendor and luxury. But don’t be fooled by that golden, glittery facet. The region holds a large number of museums and monuments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Museums<\/h4>\nPicasso Museum in Antibes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n Voir cette publication sur Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
