Your experience

Exploring the French Riviera past

Bask in the sun-kissed charm of St. Paul de Vence, Cannes' star-studded glamor, and Antibes' ancient whispers on your French Riviera escape. Once you're picked up by your guide at your hotel in Nice, make your way to Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the jewel of Provence. Walk the cobbled streets and wander into galleries housed in 16th-century buildings where Marc Chagall, Picasso, and Modigliani once sought inspiration. The charm of old French towns continues as you explore the beaches of Antibes. Its Old Town dates back to the Greeks and is a tapestry of timeless beauty, unlike any other on the Riviera.

A touch of glamor and sophistication

From Antibes, you’ll drive down the scenic coastal route to Cannes. Stroll down the iconic La Croisette, a palm-lined promenade, or sit on one of its iconic blue chairs to look at the Mediterranean coast. While there, picture yourself ascending the red carpet steps of the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, where the world's biggest movie stars grace the Cannes Film Festival. Before you return to Nice, indulge in some retail therapy at the Croisette’s chic boutiques or the city’s bustling weekly markets.

More to the French Riviera

If you'd like to cover the French Riviera in its entirety, upgrade to a full-day tour and visit Tourettes-sur-Loup, Grasse, and Gourdon. Located on a rocky buttress and overlooking precipices, the medieval village of Tourettes-sur-Loup became a meeting place for musicians, painters, writers, and poets in the mid-1920s. Today, more than thirty workshops and galleries make the village a Mecca of art and crafts on the Riviera. Since the end of the 18th century, Grasse's old town has served as a significant hub for French perfumery. There will be a chance for you to tour the Fragonard perfumes. Explore one of France's most exquisite Perch villages and take in the breathtaking expansive panorama of the Riviera. You will tour the magnificent garden created by Le Nôtre as well as the castle, which dates back to the ninth century.
