Experience the authentic essence of the French Riviera on this immersive full-day small-group tour. Designed for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle, this 9-hour journey combines sensory delights, artistic history, and world-class viticulture in the heart of Provence.
Your day begins in the historic town of Antibes. Wander through the vibrant Provencal market, where the scents of fresh lavender, local cheeses, and sun-ripened olives create a quintessential French atmosphere. Stroll along the ancient fortification walls and admire the luxury yachts in the harbor, reflecting the town's unique blend of medieval history and modern glamor.
Next, we travel to Saint-Paul-de-Vence, widely considered one of the most beautiful medieval villages in France. This hilltop gem has long been a sanctuary for legendary artists like Chagall, Matisse, and Picasso. You will have ample time to explore its winding cobblestone streets, hidden squares, and world-renowned art galleries that showcase the village's rich creative heritage.
The afternoon is dedicated to indulgence at the historic Chateau Cremat. This stunning estate, famous for its ties to Coco Chanel—who allegedly drew inspiration for her iconic 'double C' logo here—offers an exclusive glimpse into local winemaking. You will enjoy a guided tour of the castle grounds and vineyards, followed by a professional wine tasting session featuring the finest regional vintages, all included in your tour price.
We conclude this magical day at the Gairaut Waterfall. Perched high above the city, this spot offers the most spectacular panoramic view of Nice and the azure coastline, providing the perfect photo opportunity to end your excursion.
