What to expect
Your driver collects you from Cannes in an air-conditioned minivan, then heads east along the corniche road. Eze arrives first—a compact medieval settlement clinging to a rocky outcrop. After exploring its narrow lanes, you'll tour the Fragonard perfumery, learning how Provençal plants become fragrance. The journey continues to Monaco, where stops include the Prince's Palace (seasonal), the cathedral housing Princess Grace's tomb, and the Oceanographic Museum. You'll walk sections of the Grand Prix track and finish at Monte-Carlo, where the famous square and surrounding boulevards offer luxury shops, harbour views, and sidewalk cafés.
