French Riviera - Cote d'Azur

The French Riviera (or Côte d'Azur) is the Mediterranean coast of southeastern France. It includes famously glamorous beach resorts such as Saint-Tropez and Cannes, and the independent microstate of Monaco. A health retreat in the 18th century, the area later attracted aristocrats, artists and the 1960s "jet set." Today it’s an established holiday destination, with paths connecting many coastal villages and towns.

Nice is great. I’m living here now... and I also really love Monton. Here is a video of my 5 km run yesterday with a beautiful view in Nice.

That's a really hectic schedule - I'd choose 2 locations tops and preferably an even split between London/Paris, when you consider the size of the cities, and amazing plethora of restaurants, museums, etc. both have to offer. Save the rest of the locations (especially Amsterdam) for trips of their own.
