YOUR BACKROAD ADVENTURE - Sightseeing & Exploring

The French Riviera is the perfect combination of seaside and countryside. With the mountains of the Alps overlooking the region, the Côte d’Azur offers some of France’s most beautiful natural sites and beauties.

Nice's Promenade des Anglais and Carnival are well-known and we want you to discover the warmth of the locals and the dazzling lights. Getting lost amongst the narrow streets, being a part of the hustle and bustle of market squares, enjoying terrace drinks or strolls along the port, we promise you will fall in love with this beautiful place.

Cannes has linked its name to the world of cinema since 1946 and as a result is a stunning village of both natural and cultural significance. The old Suquet district has become the most famous in Cannes and the well-known promenade of the French Riviera, La Croisette, with its palm trees, palaces, luxury boutiques and sumptuous Art Deco buildings, is of course on our French Riviera bucket list. We will, however, also share with you much more quiet and peaceful places in this stunning town.

St Paul de Vence and Eze are the most commonly visited villages in this region but we like to show our travellers something a little bit different. In addition to these hotspots, we will visit Vence, Tourrettes, Gourdon and more. Some of the finest perfumes come from the flowers that grow there and your sense of smell with be delighted in these unique towns.

True to the traditions and creativity of the Côte d'Azur - both cosmopolitan and Provençal - artists and craftsmen and women reveal the full scope of their talent in many towns and villages in the region. The best known are Biot, Vallauris and Tourrettes-sur-Loup. We will visit their studios and workshops, discover the special talents of each one and enjoy the real pleasure of meeting these craftsmen with ‘golden hands’.
