• Fort Mont-Alban - Shortly after departing from Nice, you’ll ascend the majestic Mont Boron hill. Here, you’ll encounter a 15th-century fortress that once protected the Bay of Villefranche. The breathtaking views over the bay, the village, and the surrounding hills will momentarily leave you in awe. On the other side of Mont Boron, you’ll enjoy a panoramic view of Nice and beyond, as if from a bird’s-eye perspective—an unforgettable experience of the French Riviera’s major city.

Our tour proceeds with a visit to the observation deck at Mont Alban Fortress, where your guide will share insights into the Bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer and the Bay of Angels. You’ll be treated to magnificent coastal views. To the east, you’ll see Cap Ferrat, Cap d’Ail, Cape Bordighera, and Mount Dog’s Head. To the west lies the Bay of Angels. Be sure to capture photos of this memorable location.

• Eze - Our next destination is Eze Village, a medieval town perched on a rocky hill that still echoes with memories from the Roman Empire. Positioned like an eagle’s nest at nearly 430 meters above sea level, Eze Village transports visitors back to the 13th century and beyond. Its narrow, picturesque streets, facades hidden by Mediterranean vegetation, and medieval architecture make Eze Village one of the most captivating destinations in France. The splendid views from its exotic gardens atop the hill ensure a visit you’ll always remember. This inspiring place left a mark on Friedrich Nietzsche, the influential German philosopher of the 19th century, who lived in Eze and profoundly influenced Western philosophy.

This medieval village is surrounded by robust defensive walls, cliffs, and houses seemingly carved from the rock itself. Reminiscent of medieval times, Eze offers magnificent views of the sea, the French Riviera, and even Corsica.

• Parfumerie Fragonard - L’usine Laboratoire Èze - Visite Gratuite & Guidée - While in Eze Village, don’t miss the chance to visit the renowned French cosmetic manufacturer, Fragonard. Discover how perfumes are made, learn about the “nose” behind them, and more on a free guided tour available in English and other languages. The opportunity to purchase fragrances at factory prices adds to the excitement of your visit.
• Villa & Jardins Ephrussi de Rothschild - Just a 10-minute drive away lies Cap Ferrat, a paradise peninsula where celebrities and the wealthy own properties. Nestled in this picturesque setting is our next stop, Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. This Italian-style palace was commissioned in 1905 by Béatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild. Accompanied by a personal guide and an excellent audio guide, you’ll embark on a captivating journey through the villa’s halls, where you can admire a rare collection of nearly 5,000 works of art, including mosaics, Flemish tapestries, porcelain, and furniture.
  Surrounding the villa are luxurious gardens
  The villa’s nine gardens showcase diverse styles: French, Florentine, Spanish, tropical, stone, Japanese, Provençal… During the summer months, live orchestral performances and panoramic views of the Bay of Beaulieu will undoubtedly leave you enchanted. Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild stands as a gem of French heritage, a luxurious Venetian-style palace revered and preserved by the Academy of Fine Arts.
• Villa Kerylos - Our next stop, just a short distance away, brings us to Beaulieu-sur-Mer and its remarkable time capsule: Villa Kerylos. Constructed in 1902 on a site reminiscent of the Aegean coast, the villa was meticulously designed by archaeologist Theodor Reinach, a devoted scholar of ancient Greek culture. This villa meticulously recreates life during the Greek Empire and its civilization, offering an unparalleled glimpse into ancient Greek nobility. Inside, you’ll discover original artifacts alongside meticulously crafted replicas of furniture, frescoes, and classical Greek statues in the Antique Gallery located beneath the villa. Today, Villa Kerylos is overseen by the Institute de France.
• Villefranche-sur-Mer - At the conclusion of our tour, your guide will escort you back to your hotel. As we make our way back to Nice, our route will gracefully trace the coastline along the lower ridge, passing by the town of Villefranche-sur-Mer, offering scenic views of the sea.
