Full Day Tour of Old Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer & Monaco

We’ll start our day in the most vibrant old town on the French Riviera: le Vieux-Nice! Once the main settlement of the city, this colorful maze is a feast for the senses — full of history, scents, and Mediterranean charm. The Old Nice is my favorite old town because it’s a place where everyone mixes together — the locals who were born here, the young people who come to enjoy the nightlife, and the visitors who come to taste Niçoise specialties and experience the farmer market. Here, we’ll wander through the narrow streets where flowers, spices, and local delicacies fill the air. Then, we’ll head to Villefranche-sur-Mer, my hometown, a charming seaside village famous for its picturesque bay — one of the deepest natural harbors in the Mediterranean. In the afternoon, we’ll immerse ourselves in luxury and sophistication with a visit to Monaco and Monte-Carlo, where glamour, history, and prestige blend under the Riviera sun.

We’ll make a stop at the lovely Port de la Santé, where you’ll have time for lunch. Several restaurants await you with stunning sea views. After lunch, we’ll head to Monaco, taking the Lower Corniche, the scenic coastal road that follows the Riviera. Our first stop will be Le Rocher (the Rock), where we’ll discover, among other highlights, the Prince’s Palace and the Cathedral, where Grace Kelly got married. If you’re a Formula 1 fan, we can, of course, follow the route of one of the most iconic Grand Prix circuits in the world!
