The French Riviera is synonymous with luxury, and this coastal train ride lets you soak in its glamour without the price tag of a yacht. Hugging the Mediterranean shoreline, the journey takes you past some of the most dazzling seaside towns in Europe—Cannes, Antibes, Monaco—each one an invitation to stop and explore. On one side of the train, the sun sparkles over the deep blue sea; on the other, cliffside villages seem to tumble down toward the water. Take your time, hop off for a coffee in a chic café, browse a street market, or simply watch the waves roll in from your window seat.
