I'd definitely take a train trip along the coast to Monaco. If you can arrive in time then be there for the changing of the guard at the palace but generally exploring Monaco and Monte Carlo is interesting as is the trip itself.1

Villefranche is nice and Canne would be worth a trip to, we had a decent meal in Le Safari by the market.1

I have been to that area many times. Both Cannes & Antibes are good places to visit. The town of Grasse just a 20 minute drive from Cannes is worth a visit. Grass is famous for its perfume.In Nice there a couple of good restaurants on the beach (Bocca Bar & Le Temps d’un Ete to name a few). Also along the promenade de anglais you should find decent bars and restaurants.1

Train to Villafranche is a must. Lovely sea view restaurants and used to be a small market selling antiques and bric a brac.0

Totally agree with above and get the train along the coast to Monaco with a stop off (or separate trip to) Villefranche sur Mer. It is a beautiful seaside town. The train stops more or less right in the town.
Try and get a table in the Cafe de Paris in the square in Monte Carlo to watch the supercars go around. It will probably be the most expensive sandwich lunch you have ever had but oh so worth it!0
