Experience the timeless elegance of the French Riviera on this private full-day tour, combining history, breathtaking views, and architectural grandeur. From the vibrant streets of Nice to the coastal beauty of Villefranche-sur-Mer and the aristocratic luxury of the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, this tour offers an immersive journey through the region’s most iconic locations.
Begin in Nice, where you’ll explore the city’s ancient and baroque quarters. Visit the Cimiez district, home to Roman ruins and the Cimiez Monastery gardens, before heading to the lively Old Town (Vieux Nice). Stroll through the Cours Saleya Flower Market (closed on Mondays), admire the colorful facades, and take in the energy of this historic marketplace. Walk along the Promenade des Anglais, where the beauty of the Mediterranean unfolds, before heading to Castle Hill, offering panoramic views over the Baie des Anges and the rooftops of Nice.
Continue to Villefranche-sur-Mer, a charming coastal town known for its picturesque port and pastel-colored buildings. Wander through the Citadel, a centuries-old fortress with stunning sea views, and explore the hidden Rue Obscure, a passageway dating back to the Middle Ages. Enjoy a relaxing break along the waterfront, the perfect setting for lunch by the sea.
The day concludes with a visit to Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, a Belle Époque masterpiece nestled on the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula. Inside, discover art-filled salons, opulent décor, and a collection of rare antiques. Step outside into the nine themed gardens, where fountains, sculptures, and meticulously landscaped greenery create an oasis of tranquility, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Mediterranean.
📌 Note: This tour is not available on Mondays due to the Cours Saleya Flower Market closure and adjusted hours at certain locations.
