What to expect

Your guide picks you up and drives you inland from the coast, away from the resort sprawl. Each village gets proper time: you'll wander cobbled lanes, peek into galleries, and sit with a coffee while your guide explains the architecture and stories. Gourdon perches dramatically on a ridge; Tourrettes trades in silk and pottery; Saint-Paul draws artists and has genuine character despite its fame. Antibes rounds things out with medieval walls and working harbour life. It's unhurried—if a corner catches your eye, you stop. The car waits.

Good to know

Seven-and-a-half hours total, so start early. Wear comfortable shoes for village exploration. Prams and strollers work fine on main streets; some lanes are steep and narrow. Infant seats available on request. Suitable for all fitness levels—you set the pace.
