How to Slow Travel in the French Riviera with Kids

Planning a trip to the French Riviera with kids can feel like a juggling act. Between must-see spots and nap times, it’s easy to fall into the “do-it-all” trap and come home more tired than when you left.

After our first slow travel success in Paris, I knew we had found an approach that truly worked for our family. So when it came time to plan our French Riviera trip, we used that same intentional 3-step framework to guide our week. The result was a trip that felt relaxed, meaningful, and beautifully paced.

And now—with our travel guide—you can create that same experience too.

Our Simple 3-Step Slow Travel Framework

This is the heart of every travel guide we create. It’s family-tested, burnout-proof, and designed for moms who want more connection, less chaos.

Step One: We Choose the Feelings First: We ask: How do we want to feel after this trip? Relaxed? Inspired? Reconnected as a family? That answer becomes our compass.
Step Two: We Plan Around Our Core 3
We design days around:
See: Iconic sights & scenic views
Experience: Food, markets, nature
Connect: Play, slow dinners, sunsets, & rest
Step Three: We Map the Days with Breathing Room: No rushed itineraries or kid meltdowns here. We create gentle rhythms so there’s time for magic to unfold—like sketching in a notebook, beach wandering, or sharing gelato after dusk.
