The “French Riviera” – full day

What to do on the French Riviera in one day

During this tour, you will discover the French Riviera, its main cities and prestigious places. You will be immersed in a world where art, gastronomy, architecture, history, fashion, religious heritage, luxury and sublime natural spaces are in perfect harmony and are at one with you.

You will be driven to Juan-les-Pins by the sea road and by the «Cap d’Antibes» where the famous luxury hotel «Eden Roc» is located. At Antibes, you will enjoy the Provençal market and the Picasso museum.

Then, you will head in the direction of Saint Paul de Vence to discover famous painters and art galleries, the old streets and fountains, and the panoramic view over the French Riviera.

You will be able to experience the Provençal atmosphere of Nice by visiting it and its old quarter, the flower market and the most beautiful orthodox church outside Russia: Saint-Nicolas Cathedral. We strongly suggest that you taste a very local dish “la socca”.

Afterwards, you will be taken to the medieval village of Eze via a fantastic scenic road to visit the Galimard perfume factory. It will be a magical moment. This charming establishment will allow you to plunge into the nostalgia of the past, with superb antique bottles, museum pieces and a traditional soap factory.

Then, you will follow the road to the Principality of Monaco to visit the palace and the cathedral where lay the graves of the Grimaldi family including Princess Grace Kelly.

Next, you will discover the luxury life of Monte Carlo with its historical casino and its exotic garden. You will realize that the principality is not only steeped in history, it is also a place of innovation where modern architecture and skyscrapers merge into the urban landscape.

You will be amazed by the richness and the diversity of the French Riviera, the world’s leading tourist hot spot.
