Excursions and visits
Nice and Eze (included). We travel to Eze and the Fragonard perfume factory. Join our tour to sample and buy perfume at fabulous prices. Next, we go to Nice, with some free time to explore or simply stroll along the Promenade des Anglais.
St. Paul de Vence and Cannes (included). St. Paul de Vence is a beautiful fortified medieval village, known as the home of artists such as Renoir, Chagall and Matisse. Wander the cobblestoned streets, admire the paintings, craft shops and boutiques, and soak up the atmosphere of a village dating back to the 1500s. We end the day in Cannes, famed for the International Film Festival. Feel like a film star on the Boulevard de la Croisette, with hotels, boutiques and gardens on one side, and glorious beaches on the other.
Monaco and Monte Carlo (optional). In the morning we visit the Principality of Monaco - its eight square miles form the smallest, and almost certainly the wealthiest, sovereign state in the world. It also has one of the few autocratic monarchies left in the world. It also has one of the few autocratic monarchies left in the world. The afternoon is at leisure in probably the most famous part of Monaco, Monte Carlo. If you feel lucky, take a chance in the Grand Casino, with its lavish interiors decorated in the striking Belle Epoque style.
Santa Margherita and Portofino or Alassio (optional). We visit Santa Margherita’s marinas, shops and Basilica di Santa Margherita. We then take a boat trip from Santa Margherita to Portofino (weather permitting). The harbour is moored with expensive ocean-going yachts, and its pedestrian-only streets are crammed with a galaxy of designer names and stylish restaurants. If the weather prevents the boat trip from operating, then we will visit the seaside resort of Alassio on the return journey instead.
