French Riviera and Provence Countryside Private Day Tour
From Antibes to Grasse, one day through the coast and the hills of southern France.
This French Riviera and Provence private day tour brings together the glamour of the coastline and the quiet beauty of the inland villages in a single, unhurried itinerary. A professional driver-guide picks you up directly from your accommodation and returns you there at the end of the day.
The route balances well-known landmarks with lesser-visited spots. You will walk the famous Boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes, wander the medieval lanes of Saint-Paul de Vence, and stand above a dramatic river gorge in the Provencal hills, all within the same day.
Because the tour is entirely private, the program can be adjusted to match your interests. Your guide is available throughout the day to offer context, answer questions, and suggest where to eat during your free time at lunch.
The vehicle is comfortable and recent, making even the mountain roads to Gourdon and the Gorges du Loup a relaxed experience rather than a logistical challenge.
Tour Highlights
Visit Port Vauban in Antibes, one of the largest marinas in Europe, and browse the Provencal market in the old town.
Walk the Boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes and see the Palais des Festivals, home of the iconic Cannes Film Festival.
Explore the historic ramparts and charming alleys of the perched village of Saint-Paul de Vence.
Discover the Gorges du Loup, a striking canyon carved through the limestone mountains of Provence.
Visit the medieval village of Gourdon, perched on a cliff with panoramic views over the Loup valley and the Riviera coast.
End the day in Grasse with a visit to a historic perfume factory and an introduction to the art of fragrance-making.
Travel in a private, comfortable vehicle with door-to-door pickup and drop-off at your accommodation throughout the day.
Itinerary
Your first stop is the elegant seaside town of Antibes, where Port Vauban hosts some of the largest private yachts in Europe. On most days of the week (Tuesday to Sunday), the old town holds a lively Provencal market worth exploring.
Continue along the coast to Cannes and walk the celebrated Boulevard de la Croisette. You will pass the Palais des Festivals et des Congres, the venue that hosts the famous annual film festival each May.
Head inland to the hilltop village of Saint-Paul de Vence, surrounded by medieval ramparts. The narrow cobblestone alleys open onto the Grande Fontaine square, where locals gather throughout the day.
After a free-time lunch break, travel into the mountains of Provence to see the Gorges du Loup. The gorge offers dramatic views of sheer cliffs, waterfalls, and the winding River Loup below.
The medieval village of Gourdon sits on a cliff edge above the Loup valley. From this vantage point, on a clear day, the entire French Riviera coastline stretches out below.
The tour closes in Grasse, the historic capital of the French perfume industry. A visit to the main perfume factory provides a hands-on look at the history and craft behind some of the world's most recognized fragrances.
