Itinerary Overview
The tour begins in Nice, where guests board a comfortable shared vehicle with a professional driver. Departing from the city, the route heads east along one of Europe's most scenic coastal roads.
The first stop offers panoramic views over the deep natural bay of Villefranche, a favorite subject for painters and photographers alike. The nearby cape of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat provides a glimpse of the elegant estates and serene waters that define this exclusive peninsula.
Perched at nearly 430 meters above the sea, Eze is a remarkably preserved medieval village with winding stone alleys and artisan boutiques. The view from the top stretches across the entire bay, offering one of the finest panoramas on the French Riviera.
The tour continues into the Principality of Monaco, where guests can explore the casino square, admire the royal palace, and take in the harbor packed with superyachts. Monte Carlo's compact size makes it easy to absorb its atmosphere of wealth and history within a focused visit.
The final destination is Antibes, a town whose ancient Greek and Roman roots are visible in its well-preserved ramparts and old-town streets. The covered market, the port, and the lively Cours Massena offer a grounded, authentic contrast to the glamour of Monaco.
After exploring Antibes, the group returns to Nice, completing a full circuit of the most celebrated destinations along the Cote d'Azur. Guests are dropped off at the original meeting point.
