Detailed itinerary
1
Our proximity to the Italian border allows you to grasp the way of life of our trans-Alpine neighbours. Take the advice of an astute Frenchman who regularly pops round to fill his hayloft with Italian specialities.
On Tuesday & Saturday : Sanremo
Once the shopping is done, continue your tour to admire the eclectic examples of architecture that the town offers such as the Russian Orthodox Church or the Villa Nobel. Perhaps indulge in a capuccino or a delicious gelato near San Siro church for a taste of la Dolce Vita !
On Thursday : Seborga
Once off the highway (after a 40mn drive from Nice only), we head into the hills to discover the mysterious Principality of Seborga…
On Friday : Ventimiglia
It is considered the largest market in Italy and is a tradition and institution for Italians and French people living on the Riviera. Ventimiglia is also a popular city for buying jewelry.
2
On Tuesday & Saturday : Ospedaletti
The drive back along the coastline from San Remo allows us to choose a restaurant in the quaint town of Ospedaletti for a timely lunch break. Nature lovers may also enjoy a digestive walk through the Pallanca exotic gardens.
On Thursday : Bordighera
From Seborga we drive down to the coast to savour the flavours of the Ligurian land at the market in Bordighera. Once our appetite wet, we can either stay on the seashore’s promenade or head to the ancient town for lunch.
On Friday : Dolceacqua
A few kilometres separate Ventimiglia from the medieval village of Dolceacqua dominated by the Doria Castle… The perfect setting for a delicious meal in a family run restaurant.

On our return from the Riviera dei Fiori we can only succumb to the authentic charm of the French Riviera in Menton. The seaside resort is ideally located between the Principality of Monaco and Italy, where the Alps plunge into the shores of the Mediterranean. Thanks to a microclimate that tends towards the sub-tropics, Menton is a gardener's paradise - some of its gardens have even been classified as « Historical Monuments » - and an unparalleled showcase for the architecture that has shaped this secret in the Riviera.
