    Our proximity to the Italian border allows you to grasp the way of life of our trans-Alpine neighbours. Take the advice of an astute Frenchman who regularly pops round to fill his hayloft with Italian specialities. On Tuesday & Saturday : Sanremo Once the shopping is done, continue your tour to admire the eclectic examples of architecture that the town offers such as the Russian Orthodox Church or the Villa Nobel. Why not stop by San Siro church for a cappuccino or an authentic gelato ? It’s the perfect way to embrace la Dolce Vita ! On Thursday : Seborga Once off the highway (after a 40mn drive from Nice only), we head into the hills to discover the mysterious Principality of Seborga… On Friday : Ventimiglia It is considered the largest market in Italy and is a tradition and institution for Italians and French people living on the Riviera. Ventimiglia is also a popular city for buying jewelry.

    On Tuesday & Saturday : Ospedaletti The drive back along the coastline from San Remo allows us to choose a restaurant in the quaint town of Ospedaletti for a timely lunch break. Nature lovers may also enjoy a digestive walk through the Pallanca exotic gardens. On Thursday : Bordighera From Seborga we drive down to the coast to savour the flavours of the Ligurian land at the market in Bordighera. Our appetite thus whetted, we can either stroll along the coastal promenade or head into the old town for lunch. On Friday : Dolceacqua A few kilometres separate Ventimiglia from the medieval village of Dolceacqua dominated by the Doria Castle… The perfect setting for a delicious meal in a family run restaurant.

    Menton

    On our return from the Riviera dei Fiori we can only succumb to the authentic charm of the French Riviera in Menton. The seaside resort is ideally located between the Principality of Monaco and Italy, where the Alps plunge into the shores of the Mediterranean. Thanks to a microclimate that tends towards the sub-tropics, Menton is a gardener's paradise - some of its gardens have even been classified as « Historical Monuments » - and an unparalleled showcase for the architecture that has shaped this secret in the Riviera.
