Detailed itinerary

Eze is famous as one of the most beautiful medieval towns in France. Visiting the village of Eze is like stepping back in time. Here you will have time to wander the maze of cobbled streets and soak up the atmosphere wherever you go. Although the village is small, every corner, shop and restaurant is worth a stop. You'll also see traditional houses where the ground floor is used to keep goats and donkeys, or perhaps as a workshop or souvenir shop. Eze is famous for its Jardin Exotique, an amazing hilltop garden with a remarkable collection of rare succulents and cacti from around the world. As you walk through this botanical wonderland, the panoramic views of the Mediterranean coastline are simply breathtaking. The garden's terraces offer a peaceful retreat and are a must for nature lovers and romantics alike.

Monaco is the enchanting jewel of the French Riviera, offering a captivating combination of wealth, natural beauty and cultural richness. Whether you're trying your luck at the Casino de Monte-Carlo or exploring its historic sites, Monaco promises a luxurious and unforgettable experience. Monaco is known as a principality, and you can see for yourself at the Princely Palace, located high above the city and dating back to the 13th century. You can visit the palace even when the Prince is not in residence. Highlights of the tour include the Italian-style gallery and the Blue Room, famous for its blue and gold decorations. The Opéra de Monte-Carlo and the Grimaldi Forum host world-class performances and exhibitions. The Oceanographic Museum, located on a cliff with dramatic sea views, showcases marine life and scientific discoveries in a breathtaking setting. One of Monaco's most famous events is the Monaco Formula One Grand Prix, a thrilling race through the city's narrow streets.
