Your French Riviera Experience
Discovering the Essence of the French Riviera
Immerse yourself in the enchanting allure of St. Paul de Vence, the glamour of Cannes, and the ancient whispers of Antibes on your French Riviera getaway. Begin your journey as your local guide picks you up from your hotel in Nice, leading you to Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a gem of Provence. Meander through its historic streets and explore art galleries nestled in centuries-old buildings where renowned artists like Marc Chagall, Picasso, and Modigliani once found inspiration. The magic of traditional French towns unfolds as you venture to the shores of Antibes. Its Old Town, tracing back to Greek origins, is a picturesque blend of timeless elegance unique to the Riviera.
A Dash of Glamour and Sophistication
Continuing from Antibes, follow the scenic coastal drive to Cannes. Take a leisurely stroll along the iconic La Croisette, a palm-fringed promenade, or relax on one of the famous blue chairs overlooking the Mediterranean coastline. Envision yourself walking the red carpet at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, where Hollywood royalty grace the Cannes Film Festival. Before heading back to Nice, treat yourself to some retail therapy at the stylish boutiques along La Croisette or explore the vibrant local markets.
