About this tour
A nine-hour guided loop through the French Riviera's coastal and inland gems, departing from Nice with a maximum of eight passengers. You'll visit Cannes and Antibes on the coast, then venture inland to the hilltop villages of Saint-Paul de Vence, Tourrettes-sur-Loup and Gourdon, finishing in Grasse's perfume district. Along the way, spot vineyard estates and period architecture whilst your driver provides context from the air-conditioned minibus.

What to expect
You'll spend the morning driving westward along the coast, with brief stops to explore Cannes and Antibes on foot. After lunch (your own expense), the route climbs inland into the pre-Alps foothills where three hilltop settlements offer narrow lanes, local shops and views across terraced countryside. Grasse, your final destination, is France's perfume capital—you'll learn how the industry operates there. Expect roughly 70% driving and 30% walking through villages and towns. The pace suits moderate fitness; some steep cobbled streets in the old quarters.
