Private Tour: Cannes, Saint-Paul de Vence and Antibes in Half a Day

Three iconic destinations, one seamless journey along the Cote d'Azur


This private Cannes Saint-Paul de Vence Antibes tour brings together three of the French Riviera's most celebrated destinations in a focused five-hour excursion. Traveling in a comfortable, recent vehicle with a professional local guide, you move at a relaxed pace without the constraints of a group itinerary. The result is an intimate and informative experience shaped around your interests.

Cannes opens the journey with its legendary boulevard, luxury boutiques, and the Croisette's famous sandy beaches. The city's five-star hotels and storied film festival backdrop lend it a distinctive glamour that remains compelling even outside awards season.

Saint-Paul de Vence offers a striking contrast. This fortified medieval village, perched on a hilltop above the coastal plains, has drawn artists, writers, and collectors for generations. Its cobblestone lanes, art galleries, and panoramic views make it one of the most rewarding stops in Provence.

Antibes rounds out the day with its vast marina, centuries-old fortification walls, and a well-preserved old town. The sheer scale of the yachts moored in Port Vauban gives a sense of the wealth that has long been drawn to this stretch of coastline.

Explore Saint-Paul de Vence, a medieval hilltop village celebrated as a living center of art and history.
