What to expect
Your driver collects you for a curated drive through the Côte d'Azur's most-visited corners. You'll stop briefly in each location to walk around—enough time to catch the character of a place without rushing through it all. Medieval villages stack themselves on hillsides with narrow lanes and local craftwork; coastal towns feel busier but hold genuine markets and museums worth a quick look. The route climbs inland to quieter settlements, then returns toward the sea. By day's end you'll have seen why artists and princes chose this stretch of coast, though you'll share the experience with plenty of other travellers.
Good to know
Bring comfortable shoes for village cobblestones. The tour skips lunch, so eat beforehand or pack snacks. Air-conditioned transport helps on warm days. Infants can travel in car seats or lap-held; prams suit the easier stops but struggle on steeper village paths.
