Starting in Nice, you’ll follow the Mediterranean coastline toward Antibes and Cannes, discovering a blend of seaside elegance, historic old towns, and Riviera glamour.

On the second day, the experience shifts inland toward the quieter, more authentic side of the region, passing through scenic countryside medieval villages and hilltop villages before arriving in Grasse.

This is a fully private, high-end experience designed for couples or small families seeking a refined escape. Guided visits, curated stops, and breathtaking drives combine to create an intimate immersion into the spirit, beauty, and lifestyle of the Côte d’Azur.

Day 1 :

Riviera Icons : Antibes, Cannes, Esterel

Nice → Antibes → Cap d’Antibes → Cannes → Esterel

Follow the coastline toward the glittering heart of the French Riviera. Your day begins in Antibes for a guided visit through its fortified old town, medieval ramparts, and charming Provençal streets. Discover the artisan shops, the covered market, and the picturesque harbor where fishing boats sit beside sleek yachts. Your guide leads you through the artistic legacy of Antibes, beloved by Picasso and many others, and shows you the best viewpoints on the old ramparts.

Continue your coastal journey toward the Cap d’Antibes, one of the most exclusive peninsulas in France. Follow the scenic route toward the Baie des Milliardaires, a hidden cove framed by pine forests, rugged cliffs, and deep turquoise water. It’s one of the Riviera’s most breathtaking stretches, a place where villas vanish behind cypress trees and the Mediterranean feels peaceful and wild at once.

We will then arrive in Cannes, where a guided walking tour reveals the city behind the glamour. From the legendary Palais des Festivals and its red carpet to the colorful streets of Le Suquet, the old fishermen’s quarter overlooking the bay. Enjoy time to explore lively markets, elegant boutiques, and the iconic Croisette lined with palm trees and luxury hotels.

As the landscape shifts again, enter the dramatic Esterel Massif, a world of red volcanic cliffs plunging into turquoise water. The contrast of colors, deep terracotta stone, vivid green pine, bright blue sea—is unlike anywhere else in France. This is one of the most spectacular drives of the entire journey.

From Cannes, follow one of the most scenic coastal roads of the French Riviera, and tracing the shoreline all the way to Frejus. Golden beaches, rocky coves, and open sea views accompany you as the road curves along the Mediterranean.

Day 2 :

Timeless Hilltop Villages: Grasse, Saint Paul de Vence

Fréjus → Grasse → Saint-Paul-de-Vence → Nice

Day two is about depth and authenticity, revealing the refined villages, artistic heritage, and serene landscapes that give the French Riviera its soul.

Leaving the coastline behind, the second day unveils a quieter, more timeless side of the Riviera. Scenic inland roads wind through olive groves and rolling hills as you make your way toward Grasse, the world capital of perfume.

In Grasse, discover the historic old town with its pastel façades, narrow lanes, and shaded squares. A guided visit introduces you to the centuries-old art of fragrance and the floral traditions that have shaped the region’s identity. The atmosphere here feels authentic, elevated, and deeply rooted in Provençal heritage.

Continue on toward the perched medieval village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, one of the most beautiful hilltop villages in the South of France. Wander through cobbled streets lined with art galleries, stone houses, and hidden courtyards, while panoramic views stretch across the countryside toward the sea. Long beloved by artists and creatives, Saint-Paul-de-Vence blends culture, elegance, and charm.

As the afternoon light softens, panoramic inland routes guide you back toward Nice, offering sweeping French alps, and Mediterranean viewpoints along the way.
