Drive along the famous promenade des Anglais and reach the Castle Hill where the Greeks lived 2600 years ago, enjoy its gardens and the waterfall and a breathtaking view over the city of Nice. Photo stop at the largest Russian cathedral in Europe outside of Russia and arrive in Cimiez, see the Queen Victoria winter palace, a monastery built in the 9th century surrounded by a garden of Italian style, the tomb of the painter Henri Matisse, the Roman Arena built in the 2nd century , and the remains of the ancient Roman city.
Drive down to different charming places, end the tour in the old town to see his flowers and farmers market. Then we will go for a walk in Old Nice you will especially appreciate its old, shady narrow streets that run in all directions like a maze where you will see these colorful old buildings, local shops, multiple restaurants and baroque churches, and you will have pleasure to taste the traditional onion, and olive tarts called « Pissaladieres », and the famous Socca made with chickpea flour.
The name Saint Tropez conjures up images of yachts and golden sand – it is the classic European getaway. It has been this way however, it was once a quiet fishing village which was transformed after Brigitte Bardot came to St Tropez in the 50s to star in Et Dieu Créa la Femme (And God Created Woman) providing the stage for it become a classic jet set destination where illicit pleasures wait around every corner.
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.
We recommend this tour to people who like sharing, good wine, local cuisine and wonderful landscapes. Experience a fantastic day and sample a variety of different flavors…
