Activity itinerary

Promenade des Anglais
  • 40m
Our journey begins with a scenic drive along the iconic Promenade des Anglais in Nice, where the Mediterranean’s sparkling blue waters and the elegant architecture of the city create a stunning backdrop. As we glide along this historic boulevard, we’ll take in the charm of Nice’s waterfront before setting off towards the artistic haven nestled in the hills—Saint-Paul-de-Vence.
St-Paul-de-Vence
  • 1h
Our journey begins in the enchanting village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a picturesque gem nestled among the lush hills and verdant valleys of the Vence River. This medieval town, with its charming appearance preserved behind ancient 14th-century ramparts, offers a glimpse into its storied past as a strategic fortress once guarding the Var border. Renowned as the Royal City, Saint-Paul-de-Vence has long captivated visitors with its timeless allure. More than a century ago, Saint-Paul-de-Vence transformed into a vibrant mecca for artists seeking inspiration. Following in the footsteps of luminaries like Picasso, Chagall, and Matisse, countless painters, sculptors, and modern designers have been drawn to this artistic haven. Today, the village continues to thrive as a centre of creativity, where medieval streets weave through a tapestry of galleries, studios, and contemporary art spaces.
Fondation Maeght
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
One of the highlights of our visit is the prestigious Maeght Foundation museum, which boasts the world’s largest collection of contemporary art. As your guide leads you through the narrow, winding lanes of the old town, you'll discover the rich artistic heritage that defines Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Enjoy free time to explore renowned contemporary art galleries and immerse yourself in the captivating blend of medieval charm and artistic brilliance.
Biot
  • 2h
Biot: A Journey Through Time and Artistry As we leave the coast behind, our journey will wind northward into the mountains, leading us to the breathtaking medieval town of Biot. Founded in 154 BC, Biot has a storied past that includes periods of pirate raids, banditry, and even Templar knights. Today, Biot enchants visitors with its floral charm and preserved authenticity. The town is renowned for its exquisite ceramics, with stunning examples displayed in local history and ceramics museums. Your guide will take you on a fascinating tour of a local factory where you'll witness the age-old art of glassblowing. Observe artisans crafting delicate glassware—jugs, bottles, glasses, and traditional Provencal vessels with long spouts—using time-honored techniques. Biot invites you to immerse yourself in its rich history and artistic heritage, promising a memorable experience in this hilltop gem.
Antibes
  • 1h
Our journey will continue to Antibes, a charming town nestled in a bay on the coast, situated between Salis Bay and Bay of the Rocks. Founded by the Greeks, Antibes was the first settlement on the Côte d'Azur, strategically positioned between Marseille and Italy. Fort Carré Formerly known as Antipolis, Antibes still impresses with its robust Fort Carré, which offers stunning views of the harbour and the picturesque marina. The fortress, now home to the Picasso Museum, stands proudly over an expansive square that transforms into a lively Provençal market each morning. It’s no wonder that so many seek refuge in this city, the third largest on the French Riviera. At the end of the tour, your guide will escort you back to your hotel or any other address of your choice.
