This curated French Riviera day trip from Nice blends coastal glamour, fragrance heritage, art, and village life in one enriching journey.

    Cannes and the Croisette

    Travel from Nice to Cannes, where the Mediterranean coastline, the famous Croisette, and the Palais des Festivals reflect the polished character of the French Riviera. Enjoy time to take in the town’s seaside atmosphere before heading into the countryside.

    Gourdon Above the Loup Valley

    Journey into the French Riviera hinterland to Gourdon, a perched village set above the Loup River. Its elevated position offers far-reaching views across the countryside and toward the Mediterranean, while its narrow lanes reveal the charm of a traditional Provençal village.

Going just after Covid meant lesser crowds. We could not have completed all the places we visited within a day without this assistance. I could enjoy the hills because I was not driving. I highly recommend this tour if you are in the Nice area. Amazing small picturesque villages along the route like Grasse the parfum capital, St Paul de Vence etc.
