Your chauffeur will pick you up directly at your hotel, residence, or any preferred address in Nice. Please be ready 5 minutes before the scheduled time.
Leave Nice and begin your journey along the legendary Three Corniches. Your first stop is Mont Boron, a peaceful hill above the city with a stunning 360-degree panorama over Nice, the Baie des Anges, the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer and the Mediterranean. It is the perfect start to the day and a great first photo opportunity.
Continue to Èze, a medieval village perched more than 400 metres above the sea. With your guide, wander through its narrow cobbled streets, stone archways and artisan boutiques, and learn about the village’s long history as a hilltop fortress. Then visit the renowned Fragonard perfumery, where a free guided tour reveals the art of French perfume-making, from raw materials to the final fragrance. Free time is included to explore the village at your own pace.
Climb the Grande Corniche to La Turbie, home of the Trophée d’Auguste, a 2,000-year-old Roman monument built to celebrate Emperor Augustus’s victory over the tribes of the Alps. From this elevated viewpoint, enjoy one of the most iconic views over Monaco and the coastline below. On a clear day you can see three countries: France, Monaco and Italy.
Descend into the Principality and arrive in Monaco-Ville, the historic heart of Monaco. Your guide tells the story of François Grimaldi, who disguised himself as a monk to capture the fortress in 1297 and founded the Grimaldi dynasty. Visit St. Nicholas Cathedral, resting place of Princess Grace and Prince Rainier III, stroll through the Old Town’s charming streets, and enjoy free time to soak in the unique atmosphere of this historic enclave. At 11:55, gather on Palace Square to watch the Changing of the Guard at the Prince’s Palace, a traditional daily ceremony that reflects Monaco’s royal heritage.
In the afternoon, drive along iconic sections of the Monaco Grand Prix circuit before arriving in Monte-Carlo. Discover the elegance of Casino Square, surrounded by the legendary Casino de Monte-Carlo, the Hôtel de Paris, the Café de Paris and the luxury cars that define the Riviera lifestyle.
