About this tour
A guided drive through the French Riviera's most celebrated villages, spanning seven to eight hours from Nice. You'll travel through the Maritime Alps foothills to reach the medieval hilltop settlement of Eze and the artistic enclave of Saint Paul de Vence, with opportunities to explore Monaco along the way. The route winds through dramatic coastal and countryside scenery that defines this corner of southeastern France.
Highlights
- Medieval village of Eze perched on a limestone peak
- Saint Paul de Vence's narrow lanes and art galleries
- Coastal views between Nice and the Italian border
- Monaco's Belle Époque architecture and harbour
- Alpine backdrop shifting to Mediterranean shoreline

What to expect
Your driver navigates the winding mountain roads that connect these three destinations, giving you time to absorb the landscape rather than wrestling with rental cars or buses. Eze sits 427 metres above sea level; expect steep cobbled streets and modest crowds year-round. Saint Paul de Vence offers a quieter village atmosphere with working galleries and studios mixed among residential homes. Each stop allows for walking and photography, though the villages themselves are compact. Bring comfortable shoes and expect to be on the road for stretches between locations.
