Experience the ultimate Mediterranean adventure with our exclusive 'French Riviera and French Alps in One Day' private tour. Starting directly from your accommodation in Nice, this 8-hour journey offers a seamless blend of high-altitude mountain charm and coastal elegance, all from the comfort of a luxury, modern vehicle with your own professional local guide.
Your day begins as we head inland toward the gateway of the Alps. You will pass through the picturesque village of L'Escarène before winding your way up the iconic Col de Braus. This legendary mountain pass offers breathtaking panoramic views that transition from lush valleys to the rugged peaks of the French Alps. We will then stop at the enchanting village of Sospel, a hidden gem nestled in the mountains, where time seems to stand still.
After soaking in the crisp alpine air, we will descend toward the sparkling Mediterranean coastline. Your next stop is the vibrant town of Menton, known as the 'Pearl of France.' Famous for its colorful architecture and citrus-scented streets, Menton is the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely lunch and explore the local culture.
As the afternoon progresses, we will make our way toward the medieval village of Eze. Perched high above the sea like an eagle’s nest, Eze offers some of the most iconic views on the French Riviera. You will have time to wander through its charming, narrow cobblestone alleys and explore the artisan boutiques before we conclude your unforgettable day.
