Italian Riviera and French Coastal Gems: A Private Tour from Nice

A Majestic Beginning

Our adventure begins with a scenic ascent to Mont Boron, departing from Nice. At the summit, where a 15th-century fortress once stood guard over Villefranche Bay, you’ll be greeted by panoramic vistas that will take your breath away. Enjoy sweeping views of the bay, the village, and the surrounding hills, offering a captivating perspective of the French Riviera. On the opposite side of Mont Boron, marvel at the breathtaking panorama of Nice and its surroundings, providing a bird's-eye view of the principal city of the Côte d'Azur.

A Medieval Gem
Next, we’ll visit Eze Village, a medieval marvel perched on a rocky hilltop nearly 430 meters above sea level. Stepping into this ancient town is like traveling back to the 13th century. Its narrow, winding streets are adorned with Mediterranean flora, and its medieval architecture exudes timeless charm. Don’t miss the exotic gardens atop the village, which offer spectacular views and an unforgettable experience. Eze Village also holds a literary connection as it was once home to the 19th-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who found inspiration in its serene beauty.
