Hilltop villages of the Eastern Riviera
Leave the tourist trail and the glitz of the coast for mountain scenery and old stone villages. This private French Riviera tour takes you to three villages in the hills.
The three villages
- Eze, the eagle’s nest: high above the Mediterranean, a maze of flower-filled streets, artisan galleries and perfumeries. Visit the Jardin Exotique, a garden clinging to the cliffs, and the ruins of the castle.
- Peille: a quiet village in wooded hills, 600 meters above sea level, with cobblestone alleys, medieval chapels and wide views. Ideal if you like peace and quiet.
- Sainte-Agnès: after a dramatic mountain drive, you reach the highest coastal village in Europe, with views over the Mediterranean, the remains of a castle and a WWII fort from the Maginot Line.
Why choose this private tour
- No rushing: explore each village at your own pace with your own guide.
- Away from the crowds: places that mostly locals know.
- Stories: the history of the Maginot Line and the legends of the medieval villages.
- Photo spots: the best views on the Riviera, from the cliffs to the coastline.
