What to expect
Your guide collects you from your accommodation in a comfortable, modern vehicle. The morning centres on Biot's glass factory, where you'll observe skilled blowers demonstrate their craft—furnaces glowing, molten glass spinning into shape. From there, the drive winds through olive groves to Cagnes-sur-Mer, where narrow alleys open onto the Mediterranean. Allow time to browse artist studios and cafés. The final leg climbs to Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a fortified village alive with contemporary art. Galleries line every street; the views down to Nice and the coast reward the steep walk. Your guide adjusts timing based on your pace and curiosity.
