Discover the hidden inland villages of the French Riviera on this private full-day countryside tour. Away from the coast and the crowds, this journey takes you through some of the most beautiful and authentic corners of the 'Côte d'Azur'. Begin in the enchanting cobbled streets of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, once the refuge of Matisse and Chagall, now a retreat for film stars. Visit Vence and the extraordinary Matisse Chapel — one of the greatest religious sanctuaries of the 20th century. Pause in Tourrettes-sur-Loup, the medieval City of Violets renowned for its arts and craftsmanship, before descending to Pont du Loup amid the spectacular 'Gorges du Loup'. Climb to the breathtaking hilltop village of Gourdon for panoramic views, then stop at Opio's olive oil mill to taste gourmet local produce. Continue to Grasse — the world capital of perfume — before ending the day in the pretty, arty streets of Mougins, rediscovered in the 1930s by Picasso, Man Ray and Jean Cocteau.
