If you don't have dreamy places like Nice, Antibes, and Monaco on your bucket list, what are you waiting for? These destinations in the French Riviera are gorgeous, and combine the loveliest parts of tropical and European vacations. Not mention, there are tons of Airbnbs in the French Riviera that'll take your breath away.

They may make you want to cancel your ticket home, and live amongst the pastel-colored buildings and stunning views forever. Their balconies, velvet couches, and private pools will make you feel like you're living in fantasy world, where you don't have to go to work and can straight-up chill and travel instead. To some people, nothing may sound more magical than that, especially if sweet croissants with cream filling and Polaroid cameras are involved.

Those travelers might close their eyes at night and dream about taking a dip in the saltwater in the French Riviera with their best friends, thrift shopping in local areas of each coastal city and town, and dressing up for a luxe night spent at the casinos or a fancy restaurant. They can perfectly imagine checking into one of these 10 Airbnbs that'll leave you speechless, and make you think, "Is this real life?"

When you wake up in the French Riviera, you may want to do two things: see the crystal clear water for yourself and wander through a local market.
