Wine Tasting, Provencal Market, Cannes and Saint-Paul-de-Vence

A full-day journey through Provencal markets, coastal glamour, medieval villages, and vineyard cellars on the Cote d'Azur.


This French Riviera full-day tour takes a small group of no more than eight travelers through the living fabric of Provence, from a bustling morning market to a storied wine estate with roots tied to fashion legend Coco Chanel. Each stop is chosen to reveal a distinct layer of life along the Cote d'Azur. The easy pace and intimate group size make the experience accessible to a wide range of travelers.

Antibes sets the tone with one of the most authentic covered markets on the Riviera, where local vendors display seasonal produce, olives, cheeses, and lavender products. The route then follows the coastline to Cannes, where the Boulevard de la Croisette offers a front-row view of the city's celebrated mix of beach culture and haute couture. The famous red carpet of the International Film Festival adds a cinematic dimension to the stroll.

The medieval hilltop village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence rewards visitors with cobblestone lanes, rampart views, and a legacy of artistic residency that includes Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso. Chateau Cremat, the afternoon wine tasting venue, carries its own cultural footnote as a favored retreat of Coco Chanel and the reputed birthplace of her iconic double-C motif. The day concludes at the Gairaut waterfall on the heights above Nice, a tranquil vantage point over the city.

Itinerary

1
Antibes — Provencal Market

The day begins with a visit to the covered market of Antibes, a lively meeting point for local producers and an ideal introduction to Provencal food culture. Seasonal fruits, regional cheeses, cured meats, and aromatic herbs fill the stalls. This stop offers an unfiltered look at daily life on the Riviera.

2
Cannes — La Croisette and the Film Festival Red Carpet

The group continues along the coastline to Cannes, where the Boulevard de la Croisette is the central artery of the city's glamorous identity. Guests can walk past the Palais des Festivals, home to one of the world's most recognized film events, and explore the adjacent luxury shopping area. The beachfront setting provides a compelling backdrop at any time of year.

3
Saint-Paul-de-Vence — Medieval Village and Art Galleries

Perched above the valley inland from Nice, Saint-Paul-de-Vence is one of the best-preserved medieval villages in France. Its narrow lanes are lined with contemporary art galleries, studios, and historic monuments. The village drew figures such as Chagall, who is buried in its cemetery, and Picasso, lending it a rare intersection of history and modern artistic culture.

4
Chateau Cremat — Vineyard Visit and Wine Tasting

Chateau Cremat is among the most distinguished estates within the Bellet appellation, a small and often overlooked wine region tucked into the hills above Nice. The visit includes a walk through the vineyards and castle grounds, followed by a tasting of the estate's wines. Historically, this is the property frequented by Coco Chanel and associated with the origin of her famous double-C symbol.

5
Gairaut Waterfall — Panoramic Finale Above Nice

The excursion closes at the Gairaut waterfall, a lesser-known spot on the heights above Nice that rewards visitors with sweeping views over the city and the Baie des Anges. The setting is peaceful and photogenic, providing a measured contrast to the activity of the day. It serves as a fitting final chapter before the return journey.
