Itinerary
The day begins with a photo stop on Mont Boron hill, a residential promontory above Nice home to a number of celebrated private estates. From this elevated viewpoint, the full sweep of the Baie des Anges and the city of Nice unfolds below.
Descending along the lower coastal road, the tour reaches Villefranche-sur-Mer, a small medieval port village known for the vivid turquoise colour of its sheltered bay. Highlights include the Gothic Rue Obscure and the chapel decorated by artist and filmmaker Jean Cocteau.
The route climbs to the middle corniche road, offering expansive views across Cap Ferrat, one of the most photographed peninsulas on the Riviera. The tour continues to Eze, a fortified hilltop village dating from the 14th century, where the exotic garden at the summit provides an extraordinary perspective over the Mediterranean.
From Eze, the itinerary ascends to the Grande Corniche, the highest of the three roads, passing through the Mont des Mules area with its dramatic inland landscapes before descending into the Principality of Monaco. Visits include the Prince's Palace square, the old town quarter, and the cathedral where members of the Grimaldi family are entombed.
After a lunch break at your own expense, the afternoon is dedicated to Monte Carlo. The port, lined with some of the largest private yachts in the world, sets the tone before the tour moves to Casino Square, where the Belle Epoque casino building and an array of luxury sports cars provide the backdrop for a memorable visit.
The day concludes with a complete lap of the Monaco Grand Prix street circuit, following the exact route driven by Formula 1 competitors each season. The tight barriers, famous corners, and iconic tunnel bring the race to life in a way that no screen can replicate.
