Italian Riviera
Tour Description :
The French and Italian Riviera in one holiday may sound decadent, but the Italian border is only 40 minutes from Nice so it would be a shame not to indulge !
Most visitors head to Ventimiglia or San Remo to see the basic markets, but they generally miss the Italian Riviera’s true gems :
- Picturesque villages steeped in history legends and traditions…
- Stunning countryside of rolling hills olive groves and vines…
- World renowned local produce…
- Spectacular architecture… Roman, Medieval, Belle Epoque…
We love introducing our clients to Liguria and helping them to live a truly Italian experience.
The first stop in Italy will be the Belle Epoque seaside town of Bordighera known as the city of palms, a charming town on the Ligurian coast. Much appreciated by the 19th century aristocracy and many artists. You will stroll in its flowered streets with its magnificent Italian architecture, and take the time to drink an excellent cappuccino while enjoying the view of the French and Italian Riviera.
And then after a short drive along the Nervia river, the next stop will be the exceptional perched village of Dolceacqua… a firm favorite with Claude Monet and Riviera Together! Once you’ve crossed the striking medieval bridge every street you walk down and every corner you turn will hold new surprises: amazing architecture, stunning views, artist’s galleries, a countryside path, a castle, etc…
Before leaving the village, if you wish you will have the opportunity to taste a local wines and digestives at a specialist shop.
On the trip back to France, we will take you to the coast to visit Menton known for its lemon festival and the most beautiful colorful town in the entire French Riviera. We will finally return to Nice along the Grande Corniche, which boasts the very best views of Menton, Monaco, Eze village, St jean Cap Ferrat and Nice.
