Question Car Rental vs. Train Travel from Nice

[CultureCraver]

Hello, everyone! We're planning a trip from Nice and want to explore nearby areas and then head to Provence. I'm weighing the pros and cons of renting a car versus taking trains for this journey. Has anyone done this route? How convenient is it to rent a car in Nice, and will we miss out on scenic views if we take the train? Any tips or experiences to share would be greatly appreciated!

What a lovely journey you're planning! Renting a car in Nice gives you the freedom to explore the charming coastal towns at your own pace, plus you can take scenic routes that might be missed by train travel. However, if you're keen on sipping wine while soaking in the stunning landscapes, trains can be quite picturesque too! Have you looked into the train routes that run along the coast? They often offer stunning views of the Mediterranean.

It might also be worth considering how comfortable you feel driving in a new country versus relaxing on a train. Every option has its own poetry! What places in Provence are calling to you most?

Both options offer unique experiences! If you rent a car, you can easily stop at small towns like Antibes or Villefranche-sur-Mer along the coast, which are often missed by train travelers. On the other hand, train travel allows you to sit back and enjoy the beautiful scenery without the stress of navigating. Have you thought about a mixed approach? You could rent a car for the coastal part and take the train to explore Provence. What towns are you most excited to visit?
