Cannes, Monaco & Cote d'Azur

Arrive in Cannes and make your way to the hotel. After checking in, the rest of the day is at your leisure.

Cannes - Antibes - Nice - Cannes. Today after breakfast, we will have a full day tour of Antibes and Nice. We depart from our hotel for Antibes, which will include the old town of Antibes and Millionaire’s Quay. We will then make our way to Nice to explore the iconic Promenade. Our panoramic tour of Nice will also take us to the Cimiez area, where we can enjoy views of the Roman Amphitheatre and Queen Victoria’s Winter Palace.

Today, you have a full day to relax and enjoy the charms of the Cote d'Azur at your own pace. You can go sightseeing and shopping in Cannes or take a boat trip to the islands in the bay. The beaches are open for food and drinks if you don’t want to sunbathe. You can have lunch in the shade or simply sip a beer or cocktail with your toes in the sand as the day cools down.

Cannes - Grasse - St. Paul de Vence - Cannes. We depart from our hotel for a full-day excursion to the medieval town of Grasse, the perfume capital of France, and the artist's village of St Paul de Vence. Enjoy a mix of sightseeing and free time in this historic part of the south of France, before returning to Cannes for the night.

Today, you can enjoy your time at leisure in Cannes or explore one of the other beautiful places along the coast, such as Saint-Raphael, Villefranche-sur-Mer, or Menton. You could even take a day trip to glamorous Saint-Tropez. You can speak to our tour leader to assist with planning your day. We suggest you enjoy dinner al fresco in Le Suquet, the Old Town of Cannes, which overlooks the bay.

Cannes - Monaco - Monte Carlo - Cannes. We depart our hotel for a full-day tour to Monaco and Monte Carlo. The iconic Monte Carlo Casino was conceived by Prince Charles III, who hoped the revenue generated would save the House of Grimaldi from bankruptcy in the 1880s. The casino has featured in many famous movie scenes, including several James Bond films and Ocean’s Twelve. Many of the world's wealthiest sports stars have homes in Monte Carlo and can occasionally be seen around Casino Square. The Principality also plays host to the most famous motorsport event in the world, with the Monaco Grand Prix seeing Formula One cars race around the city-state each May.

In the afternoon, we will visit the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. Designed by the French architect Aaron Messiah in the early 20th century for Baroness Beatrice de Rothschild, the villa's gardens are classified as one of the Notable Gardens of France. After our day exploring Monaco, we return to Cannes.

Spend today in Cannes at leisure, shopping for last-minute souvenirs or enjoying a coffee or a glass of wine at one of the many cafes and restaurants that line the Boulevard de la Croisette. A final evening of indulgence will be the perfect way to say “au revoir” to the Cote d'Azur.

Enjoy a final breakfast at the hotel before check out. We wish you a safe onwards journey!
