After a 30-minute drive from Nice city center, our driver guide will accompany you to discover the medieval village of Peillon clinging to its rocky spur overlooking the valley and offering a magnificent view. You will walk the streets where nothing has changed since the last century, up to the top of the village and the church of the transfiguration, built in place of the old castle in the 12th century.

Perched at 630 meters above sea level, this once capital village of the county has kept its authenticity away from the bling bling of the Coast and its tourist crowd. Peille seduces with its discretion and raw beauty. You will discover the true soul of these regions, between sky and stone, full of a thousand years history.

Classified as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France", Sainte-Agnès is the highest coastal village in Europe, perched at an altitude of nearly 800 meters. From its terrace, the view of the sea and Menton is spectacular. You can visit (optionally) the Maginot fortress, built in the 1930s to protect the border with neighbouring Italy. A place where nature, military history and landscape poetry meet.

Overlooking the Mediterranean and the rooftops of Monaco, this medieval village hides a thousand-year-old olive tree, staircase streets lined with pink stones and a timeless atmosphere. The panorama is breathtaking, and the atmosphere is sweet, almost meditative. A beautiful final stop to enjoy a moment of calm before returning to Nice.
