The best Proposal Location on the French Riviera?
The picture perfect location for a proposal in a secluded spot...
This stunning proposal on the French Riviera has it all: blue sea, a spectacular view, and - not by coincidence - the dress perfectly matches the flowers.
This surprise proposal's location is high up and just outside of Nice (about a 20 minute drive), the place is reasonably secluded and has a commanding view that looks over Cap Ferrat. It happened just before sunset. It was a genuine surprise for the bride-to-be and it was magic watching it all unravel in real time. It's one of the French Riviera's more secretive locations that's not widely known about among tourists but is frequented by locals enjoying picnics and walking their dog.
The spectacular flower set up was set-up perfectly (by Mazur Flowers) and if you're considering using this location for a proposal you should know that this one took place in early spring, before tourist season is in full swing. Like anywhere in public with as stunning view as this, it does become popular during the busier months of the year, and to get there you'll need a car or an Uber ride.
My Free Proposal Location Guide for the French Riviera
If you're organizing a surprise proposal on the French Riviera, download my free Location Guide PDF which lists the pros and cons of each of the popular locations, (although the one on this page is yet to be featured). It also features general advice and up to date pricing information for photography packages.
The other images featured in the gallery below were taken on the tip of Cap Ferrat at sunset, which is one of my favorite locations. Again, you'd need transport or an Uber to take you there.
