Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Be prepared to get your walking shoes on in preparation for this adventurous and memorable day out, exploring one of the most ancient and adorable villages along the French Riviera.

The fortified settlement of Eze sits proudly on a huge rock at the top of a narrow winding road, with the friendly village sprawled haphazardly beneath the castle and grounds.

The tour begins with a stunning motorcoach trip from the tender pier at Monte Carlo, and takes you on an unforgettable twisting route through the countryside with great views over the coast.

The star of the day is incredible Eze, a vital and charming tourist hotspot known as the 'eagle's nest' because of its location 1,400 feet above sea level.

Once off the motorcoach, which is parked in a shaded square, you will have the opportunity to walk to the top of the steep hill and explore the 12th century castle, battlements and gardens.

This uphill hike is not for the faint-hearted but will reap many rewards when you reach the top and take in the unbelievable mountain and sea views that draws the tourists from across the globe. And those who visit are in good company: Walt Disney was a huge fan of Eze and made many trips here during his lifetime.

Take time to stroll through the battlements and of course, the botanic gardens which are famous for its collection of cactus and succulents.

Then it's time to wander back down the narrow cobbled streets dotted with old stone houses featuring pink tiled roofs for some much deserved shopping, or maybe you'll want to enjoy a refreshment or snack before continuing your exploration of this charming town.

Very few residents live in this tiny hamlet, barely 3000 in fact, yet it retains a strong sense of old world charm thanks largely to its reputation as a romantic destination for honeymooners and also for people who love culture. There are many art galleries that are worth checking out and of course there will also be time for you to visit the Galimard factory outlet, which is located just outside the village.

With your shopping bags full and your calf and thigh muscles fully stretched it's time to head back to the motorcoach for the ride home.

Arriving back at the pier in Monte Carlo, you'll be thrilled at having experienced such a glorious snapshot of life in France and its fascinating culture.
