A day on the Italian Riviera

Tour the French & Italian Riviera: A Two-Country Escape

Why choose between France and Italy when you can experience both? While the French and Italian Rivieras may sound like a world apart, the Italian border is just 40 minutes from Nice. Indulge in a day of cultural discovery that goes far beyond the typical tourist markets.

While most visitors stop at the border towns of Ventimiglia or San Remo, we take you deeper into the true gems of Liguria, where you will discover:

• Historic Villages: Picturesque towns steeped in legends and timeless traditions.

• Stunning Landscapes: Rolling hills, lush olive groves, and sun-drenched vineyards.

• Spectacular Architecture: A visual timeline of Roman, Medieval, and Belle Époque styles.

Tour Highlights

Bordighera: The City of Palms

Our journey begins in Bordighera, an elegant seaside town known as the « City of Palms. » Once a prestigious retreat for 19th-century aristocracy and world-renowned artists, this Belle Époque gem invites you to wander through flower-lined streets and admire its grand Italian architecture.

Dolceacqua: A Medieval Masterpiece

Next, we ascend to the perched village of Dolceacqua, a favorite destination of painter Claude Monet. As you cross the iconic medieval bridge, you’ll be captivated by:

• Enchanting, winding cobblestone streets.

• Local artist galleries and boutique workshops.

• The majestic Doria Castle overlooking the countryside.

Menton: The Pearl of France

On our return journey, we stop in Menton, famously known as the « Lemon City. » This vibrant town marks the perfect transition between the two Rivieras. You’ll have time to lose yourself in the old town’s narrow alleys, where pastel-colored townhouses and Mediterranean charm create a truly captivating atmosphere.
