About this activity
Head to the Apple Store in central Aix-en-Provence in the morning to meet your guide and board the air-conditioned minivan. Then sit back as you begin your full-day tour of the stunning French Riviera, also known as the Côte d’Azur.
Drive along the postcard-worthy Mediterranean coast to Monaco. This glitzy principality – technically the second-smallest country in the world behind the Vatican – will enchant you with its beguiling ambiance, glam boutiques and harbor filled with multi-million-dollar yachts.
Hop out to explore Monaco by foot. Your guide will point out the Prince’s Palace (Palais Princier) and through the surrounding medieval village of Monaco-Ville, also known as ‘Le Rocher’ or ‘The Rock.’ Soak up a panoramic view over Monaco Port, Monte Carlo and the sparkling Mediterranean in the distance.
Then take a drive along the Circuit de Monaco, Monaco’s world-famous street circuit. This street is used as the racetrack for the Formula One Grand Prix, one of Europe’s premier and most thrilling highlights of the year. Make a photo stop outside of the Casino of Monte Carlo, facing the famous Hotel de Paris and Café de Paris and several deluxe boutiques.
After your time in Monaco, continue your drive along the scenic coast road to Eze, perched up high on the Middle Corniche. Spend time exploring this cliff-top medieval village offering excellent views of the Mediterranean coast, and take a guided tour of Fragonard, a traditional perfumery.
Your next destination is Nice. Start with a panoramic city tour to discover the unusual mix of casual Mediterranean charm, old-world opulence, Art Deco architecture and urban grit. Cruise down the palm-lined Promenade des Anglais, passing the magnificent façade of Hotel Negresco and Palais de la Méditerranée, and end with sweeping views of the Bay of Angels from Castle Park (Parc du Château), a rocky outcrop towering over Vieux Nice.
After a full day exploring the French Riviera, relax on the drive back to Aix-en-Provence, arriving back at around 7:30pm.
We will not provide the tour the day of the Formula One race in Monaco (May 26th 2019).
