Cannes, Antibes, and Saint-Paul-de-Vence Full-Day Tour from Nice

Three iconic Riviera destinations, one unforgettable day along the Cote d'Azur.


This full-day tour from Nice to Cannes, Antibes, and Saint-Paul-de-Vence brings together the glamour of a world-famous film festival city, the ancient ramparts of a Greek-founded port town, and the cobblestone lanes of a hilltop medieval village beloved by artists and actors alike.

The tour is capped at eight participants, which means your guide can tailor commentary to the group and you spend less time waiting and more time discovering. Pickup is arranged directly from your Nice hotel, so there is no need to navigate public transport or find a meeting point.

Each stop combines guided orientation with free time to wander independently. Whether you want to browse art galleries in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, photograph the Croisette in Cannes, or walk the sea-facing ramparts of Antibes, the pace allows for both.

Cruisers joining from a port call are also accommodated. In the event of a last-minute port cancellation, a partial refund policy applies, giving some peace of mind when booking ahead of a cruise itinerary.

Tour Highlights

Walk the red carpet steps at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes and view the celebrity handprint Walk of Fame nearby.

Cruise the legendary Croisette boulevard past grand palace hotels including the Carlton, the Majestic, and the Martinez.

Explore the 15th-century ramparts and the Grimaldi Castle in the Old Town of Antibes, home to an important Picasso museum.

Wander the art-filled lanes of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a village that drew Matisse, Chagall, Modigliani, and Picasso to its doorstep.

Travel the coastal road through Golfe-Juan and Juan-les-Pins, passing the striking Marina of the Bay of Angels at Villeneuve-Loubet.

Pass by Antibes' vast marina and its so-called Billionaires' Quay, one of the largest yacht harbors on the Mediterranean coast.

Benefit from a private-style experience with a maximum of eight guests and an English-speaking guide throughout the day.

Itinerary

1
Hotel Pickup in Nice

Your English-speaking guide collects you directly from your Nice hotel and heads toward the motorway for a smooth departure toward Cannes.

2
Cannes: The Croisette and the Palais des Festivals

You arrive in Cannes and explore the Croisette boulevard, lined with palatial hotels where film festival stars traditionally stay. You have the opportunity to climb the famous red carpet steps of the Palais des Festivals and see the celebrity handprint Walk of Fame just outside.

3
Coastal Drive to Antibes via Golfe-Juan and Juan-les-Pins

Leaving Cannes behind, the tour follows the scenic coastal road through the summer resort towns of Golfe-Juan and Juan-les-Pins before reaching Antibes.

4
Antibes: Old Town, Ramparts, and the Picasso Museum

Originally founded by the Greeks as Antipolis, Antibes served as a sentinel town for centuries. You can stroll along the 15th-century sea walls and visit the exterior of the Grimaldi Castle, now home to the Picasso Museum, before passing the town's large marina and Billionaires' Quay.

5
Villeneuve-Loubet: Marina of the Bay of Angels

The route continues along the coastline to Villeneuve-Loubet, where a brief stop lets you take in the distinctive curved architecture of the Marina of the Bay of Angels before heading inland.

6
Saint-Paul-de-Vence: Medieval Village and Art Galleries

The final stop is the hilltop village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, whose cobblestone streets, listed monuments, and concentration of art galleries made it a favored retreat for artists and actors throughout the 20th century. Free time here allows you to explore at your own pace before the return drive to Nice.
