**Day 1: Nice → Eze (Approx. 15 km / 9 miles).** Begin your adventure with a short drive to Eze, a stunning medieval hilltop village. While exploring the narrow streets, keep your pet leashed, and consider hiking the Nietzsche Path (always check pet access rules locally). Secure a spot at a pet-friendly campsite near Eze or in nearby La Turbie, such as Camping La Laune, which often welcomes dogs.
**Day 2: Eze → Monaco (Approx. 10 km / 6 miles).** Drive to Monaco, where pets are generally welcome in public parks and outdoor areas, though not typically inside palaces or museums. Afterward, continue your journey to the colorful town of Menton, known for its lemon festival, and aim to camp at a municipal site like Camping Saint Michel.
**Day 3: Menton → Grasse (Approx. 70 km / 43 miles).** Enjoy Menton's vibrant old town and a stroll along its promenade with your leashed pet, then head inland to Grasse, the world's perfume capital. Some perfume houses offer outdoor areas where pets can accompany you. Look for pet-friendly campgrounds a bit outside Grasse, allowing easy access to the town.
**Day 4: Grasse → Cannes (Approx. 40 km / 25 miles).** Drive to Cannes, where you can walk along the famous La Croisette with your leashed pet. Many public spaces are dog-friendly, and you might find designated pet-friendly beaches a short drive away from the city center. Camp at an RV park located just outside the bustling city.
**Day 5: Cannes → Saint-Tropez area (Approx. 80 km / 50 miles).** Experience the glamor of Saint-Tropez. While the town center can be busy, explore charming nearby villages like Ramatuelle or Gassin with your pet. Park your rented motorhome a bit outside the busy town center for easier access and then find a campsite close to these quieter spots.
**Day 6: Saint-Tropez area → Fréjus/Saint-Raphaël (Approx. 40 km / 25 miles).** Enjoy a picturesque coastal drive, stopping at quieter beaches for pet exercise (where permitted), and explore the ancient Roman ruins in Fréjus. Several seaside RV parks in this area are accommodating to pets.
**Day 7: Fréjus/Saint-Raphaël → Nice (Approx. 70 km / 43 miles).** Conclude your journey by returning to Nice. Consider a final stop in Antibes to walk the historic ramparts with your pet, enjoying stunning sea views before dropping off your pet friendly RV rental in Nice.
