Your adventure will begin with a spectacular scenic drive along the lower Corniche to the city of Nice. Take the palm-lined Promenade des Anglais, named for the town of English Colony, which financed the street. See the Negresco Hotel with its ornate Rococo façade and the Russian Orthodox Cathedral with six domes and colorful ceramics.
Disembark your motorcoach and walk to the Old Town. Explore the Cours Saleya -- a charming promenade that leads to the markets of Nice. Tall houses washed in delightful colors shade the narrow streets. At the flower market, stroll among the stalls in search of the finest blossoms.
Reboard the coach, and your drive continues along the Middle Corniche to the town of Eze, perched high above the sea on the face of a cliff. Time is allowed here for you to wander through the cobblestone streets and browse in the shops.
Notes:
On Mondays, there is a brocantage (antiques and curios) fair at Cours Saleya instead of the flower/fruit market. This tour requires extensive walking. Terrain includes steep inclines and uneven and cobblestone surfaces. Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations.
