You dream of a holiday on the French Riviera but you think it's not for you because it's too expensive? However, by being a little smart, it is possible to make real savings on your hosting in the South! Here are all our tips for accommodation at low prices on the famous French Riviera.
Get off the beaten track
Rather than looking for accommodation in well-known seaside resorts, choose nearby cities where seasonal accommodation is often cheaper and good accommodation plans are available. For example, instead of looking for accommodation in Antibes, look for accommodation in Cagnes-sur-mer which is not far away and easy to reach by bus. Another example, instead of looking for an apartment in Nice, choose Saint-Laurent-du Var, which is only a 15-minute drive from the Promenade des Anglais and where hotel rates are much cheaper...
Preferably go out of season
Rather than leaving in the middle of summer, choose spring or autumn on the Côte d'Azur. Far from the flow of summer visitors, hotel and restaurant prices are becoming much more affordable. And, above all, you can already swim in most of the region's seaside resorts, the water is barely cooler than in August. To you the beaches of Juan les Pins, Cannes or Hyères... A little idleness far from the crowd and, at a sweet price, on the French Riviera, it is a dream come true at this time of year.
Surf the web smart
Instead of booking your room on the classic hotel booking platforms, go directly to the hotel sites. Many of them often offer promotions and prices that are cheaper than some platforms because they avoid paying the commission to the sites in question.
If you prefer to stay with private individuals, do not hesitate to visit Leboncoin, which offers up to 220,000 holiday rentals in high season, at all prices and throughout France, even at the last minute. The site also offers unusual accommodation for those who want a unique experience, there is something for everyone!
Another possibility: glamping. It's camping in the garden of private individuals at low prices. You can pitch your tent in the garden of a villa on the French Riviera, for a small fee, while enjoying the facilities on site (showers, swimming pool...). Incredible but true!
