Arrival
Upon landing at Nice Airport, enjoy seamless door-to-door service with VIP assistance and a private chauffeur who will take you to your first destination, the Hermitage Monte Carlo in Monaco. Spend your day at leisure strolling through this glamorous city, or opt for a guided tour of the picturesque nearby villages of Èze, Villefranche-sur-Mer, and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat to explore these jewels of the French Riviera. In the evening, you'll take delivery of your preferred vehicle, accompanied by a thorough walkthrough with our representative. Your thrilling driving adventure is just around the corner.

Col de Turini
Your day begins with a scenic coastal drive to the vibrant town of Menton, soaking in breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. As you gain altitude, conquer the twisty roads of the legendary Col de Turini, home to the Monte Carlo Rally and a true playground for driving enthusiasts. On your way back down, take a break in the charming village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, where you’ll indulge in an artistic workshop to spark your creativity. End the day by unwinding at Le Mas Candille, a beautifully converted 18th-century Provençal farmhouse nestled in the peaceful hillside village of Mougins.
Corniche d'Or & Parc du Verdon
Leave the rolling hills of the French Riviera behind and head to the Corniche d’Or for a leisurely cruise between the deep blue Mediterranean Sea and the red volcanic rocks. As you navigate away from the coast and head into the Var Valley countryside, you will stumble upon a medieval gem, Les Arcs, for a quick stroll through its village. With the morning behind you, delight in a truffle-tasting experience over lunch in Lorgues, then attack the sensational roads of the Verdon National Park offering eye-catching vistas over Lake Sainte-Croix. On the way, you will have the option to take a break in the villages of Cotignac and Bauduen. Conclude your second day of driving at La Bastide de Moustiers, a haven owned and reimagined by Chef Alain Ducasse, for a quiet evening to recharge your batteries.

Gorges du Cians & Saint-Paul-de-Vence
On your fourth and final day of self-driving through the French Riviera, you will leave the country backroads of Verdon Park and head onto the captivating balcony roads of the Gorges de Daluis, also known as the "Colorado Niçois." In the afternoon, navigate through the narrow roads and 17 tunnels of the Gorges du Cians, where the dramatic red cliffs create a breathtaking backdrop. Complete your unforgettable journey on a high note as the Mas de Pierre, your sanctuary for the night, welcomes you with open doors. There, immerse yourself in the rich sights, scents, and flavors of nature that have shaped this historic estate since the 4th century as you appreciate a wine tasting in its atmospheric underground cellar. It’s time to bid farewell to your partner in crime.

Departure
As you ease into your day in the peaceful surroundings of the Mas de Pierre, take time to relax at their Spa before savoring a delightful lunch. Make the most of your last afternoon on the French Riviera by picking from our optional experiences, whether it’s a private boat excursion, a helicopter ride over the coastline, or an authentic activity that allows you to delve deeper into the local culture. A private chauffeur will take you to your next destination as you prepare for your upcoming travel plans.

FAQ
What is special about the French Riviera ?
The French Riviera combines Mediterranean coastline, elegant seaside towns, and a long-standing cultural heritage. From Belle Époque villas to contemporary art foundations, the region balances glamour with authenticity. Its mild climate, clear waters, and proximity to the Alps make it uniquely diverse within a compact area.
What is the best period to visit the French Riviera ?
The most pleasant months are May, June, September, and early October. The weather is warm, the sea is swimmable, and the crowds are lighter than in peak summer. July and August are lively but significantly busier and more expensive.
What are the best cities on the French Riviera ?
Nice offers a vibrant old town and a strong cultural scene. Cannes is known for its seafront promenade and international events. Monaco brings refinement and architectural precision, while Antibes combines a historic centre with a lively marina. For a quieter atmosphere, Èze and Saint-Paul-de-Vence provide panoramic views and a more intimate setting.
What is the best way to tour the French Riviera ?
A car allows you to explore coastal roads, hilltop villages, and inland estates at your own pace. Trains connect the main towns efficiently along the coastline, but they do not reach many of the more secluded areas. For flexibility and access to lesser-known spots, driving remains the most practical option.
