Visit the charming town of Nice with its promenade, explore the hilltop village of Eze, and enjoy the tasting of a selection of local wines.
From Villefranche, your motorcoach will take the Middle Corniche to the medieval village of Eze, perched on a craggy peak above the Mediterranean. This town is closed to traffic, so you will walk along its narrow cobblestone streets.
Then, continue to Nice with views of Beaulieu, Cap Ferrat, Villefranche, Nice, and Cap d'Antibes.
Enjoy a panoramic city drive through Nice and a walk in the Old Town, where tall houses, bright with flowers, exclude the glare of the sun and keep the streets cool. Wander along Cours Saleya — the elegant promenade of Old Nice, where the famous flower market is held.
At a wine cellar, you'll taste a selection of five cheeses and three wines.
Return to Villefranche on the Lower Corniche along the coast at the foot of the mountains of the Côte d'Azur.
Notes:
Monday tours visit a brocantage (antiques and curios) fair at Cours Saleya instead of the flower/fruit market. Terrain includes cobblestones, steep inclines and many steps.
