French Riviera is one of those places where the obvious plan and the good plan are two different trips.

We mapped a 3-day French Riviera route ourselves, built for a long weekend, not a rushed one, built to avoid the Nice promenade crowd from day one.

It's the kind of trip your group chat asks about for years, not the one that looks like everyone else's. It's free. The only cost is planning your French Riviera trip without it.
