The Itinerary in Detail

Starting in Nice: A City of Contrasts and Coastline Views

Our day begins in La Condamine, Monaco, but most travelers will probably meet in Nice or be picked up from their accommodation. From there, your guide takes you on a scenic drive along the famous Promenade des Anglais, offering sweeping views of the Bay of Villefranche and the Mediterranean.

What we love about Nice is how it balances urban vibrancy with moments of serenity. You might enjoy a quick stroll through the Old Town, with its colorful markets, narrow streets, and baroque architecture. The vantage points from the heights of Nice give a spectacular backdrop for photos, especially on clear days.

The Climb to Cap Ferrat and the Views Over the Mediterranean

A highlight is the drive to Cap Ferrat, a luxurious peninsula known for its stunning villas and breathtaking coastal scenery. From the heights, you’ll see the crystal-clear waters, the bustling port of Villefranche, and beyond to the open sea. We find that these panoramic vistas are the kind of moments you’ll remember long after your trip.

Visiting the Medieval Village of Eze: A Hidden Jewel

Next, you’ll visit Eze, a tiny village perched atop a hill. Walking through its cobbled streets feels like stepping back in time. The views from Eze are spectacular, with a panoramic sweep across the coastline, making it an ideal spot for photos.

What makes Eze special is its medieval charm—stone buildings, quaint shops, and narrow alleyways. You’ll also get a chance to visit the Fragonard perfumery, where you can learn about the origins and manufacturing of perfumes. The guided tour here is free and offers an engaging look at this craft, adding an authentic, aromatic touch to your day.

We loved the way you can stroll around the famous Casino Square, where luxury cars and high-end boutiques create a scene straight out of a movie. The Grand Casino and the Café de Paris are iconic sights, perfect for a quick photo or just soaking in the vibe.
