Itinerary
Dig into your vacation in Nice! Explore everything the French Riviera has to offer, from Menton to Saint-Raphael, via Monaco, and from the Mediterranean coast to the peaks of Mercantour.
Today, you'll take your full day guided tour to Monaco, where you'll discover some of the most beautiful parts of the Cote d'Azur.
Enjoy a panoramic view over Nice after you get picked up from your hotel to experience glamorous Monaco, wonder at the picturesque medieval village of Eze, and ride along the road used in the Grand Prix in Monte Carlo.
Continue exploring or take a day to relax. Nice has some pretty amazing beaches if you wanted to lounge for a bit, or you could meander along the Promenade des Anglais, commonly called Promenade or La Prom for short. It's a walk along the pebbly shore of Nice's beach and it's a lovely place to stroll with friends or loved ones.
Check into your hotel and discover your new surroundings. Stop in Le Deux Garcons, a famous brasserie that serves up amazing coffee, and has even served artists such as Paul Cezanne and Emile Zola. This is a town of art and intrigue as well as a beacon for the intellectual of mind.
Watch people walk by a 16th century clock tower in the town square hall in the opulent Aix-en-Provence. With a touch of Renaissance to the Archbishop's place and cloisters decorating St. Sauveur Cathedral, this city has a wealth of attractions.

Treat yourself to a tour of the largest Gothic palace in the world: the 14th century Palais des Papes. Wander through the halls and beneath frescos, tip toe through chapels, and take in the beauty of this amazing UNESCO World Heritage Site.
