Destinations

Nice, France

Just a 4-hour drive or cheap train from Geneva, Nice has stunning free beaches on the Promenade des Anglais. Explore the colourful Vieux-Nice neighbourhood and eat socca (chickpea pancake) for just a few euros. Very affordable if you skip the fancy hotels and eat at the local market.
Marseille, France

A raw, authentic port city with beautiful rocky coves called Calanques just outside the city — perfect for swimming and hiking. Try a bowl of bouillabaisse or grab cheap street food near the Vieux-Port. Budget accommodation is easy to find and it has a real romantic gritty charm.
