Description

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

Leaving the port of Monte Carlo on this fun-filled eight-hour tour, you will spend the first hour of the day traveling through the magnificent French countryside, enjoying the rolling hills, rich valleys and views of the Mediterranean on our motorcoach.

Climbing higher, you will pass by the delightful medieval villages of Cagnes-sur-Mer and La Colle-sur-Loup, before arriving at your first point of destination, St Paul de Vence. Seated on a craggy hilltop between two valleys, this 16th and 17th century medieval walled town has changed little over the centuries, and your guide will be on hand to escort you through the quaint narrow streets towards the bustling central square.

You will have an hour of free time to wander through the village, lingering to admire the many picturesque buildings, boutiques and galleries, while navigating the uneven yet charming cobbled streets.

Art lovers may wish to seek out the cemetery where Russian born painter Mark Chagall is buried in a simple white tomb, and shoppers will love the chance browse the many shops and boutiques. You will have a full hour for lunch, so make sure you bring plenty of Euros in order to sample the delicious local cuisine at one of the many cafes and restaurants.

Then it's time to climb aboard the motorcoach for the 45-minute scenic onward journey to Nice, a lively city which sits in a natural amphitheater on the Baie de Anges. Nice is the capital of the French Riviera and you will have a chance to admire the famous harbor and waterfront, known as the Promenade de Anglais, as our motorcoach drives through it towards our drop-off point.

Once parked, there's a 15 minute walk to the small, open-air tourist train for a leisurely one-hour narrated ride through the city and narrow streets of the Old Town and the old port.

After your fun sightseeing ride, it's time to board the motorcoach for the 90-minute return journey to Monte Carlo, via the colorful medieval village of Eze. Clinging to a rocky outcrop, this is the perfect location take some pictures, stretch your legs and visit a nearby perfume factory for gifts, before heading back to port.
