Palais Princier de Monaco Stop 4
Gaze upon the Prince's Palace of Monaco, perched on a rock jutting into the sea. This regal home, with its storied past stands as the jewel of the Principality of Monaco. Although we won't be stepping inside its luxurious halls, which are open to visitors from April to October for those who wish to explore its opulent interiors, there's still much to admire from the outside. Every day at 11:55 am, a tradition unfolds before your eyes: the Changing of the Guards. While you absorb the magnificence of the palace and the ceremonial event, I will share tales of its history and the royalty who have called it home. The palace not only encapsulates the essence of Monaco's luxury but also stands as a living piece of history that continues to enchant and captivate those who come to see its wonders.

Cathedrale Notre-Dame-Immaculee Stop 5
This architectural marvel isn't just a feast for the eyes; it holds stories of a timeless romance that captured the world's attention. It is here that the beloved Princess Grace Kelly rests, her final chapter etched in the heart of Monaco. As we approach this sacred site, the air seems to hold a whisper of the past, where a Hollywood star became a princess in a real-life fairy tale. You won't just see the place where she is buried; you will feel the legacy of her grace and the love she inspired that continues to linger over the principality.

Office de Tourisme de Saint-Paul de Vence Stop 7
Step into the cobblestone charm of Saint Paul de Vence, a village where art breathes life into every corner. This medieval treasure has been the muse for art legends like Picasso, Matisse, and Chagall. Imagine wandering the same narrow alleys they once roamed, seeking inspiration around this city of art. The quaint, yet illustrious Colombe d'Or inn is a story in itself, having hosted these icons of art. Today, it's like a live-in gallery, adorned with their original works, a testament to the village's rich artistic heritage. Saint Paul de Vence is not just a walk through history; it's a stroll through a living canvas, awash with dazzling landscapes that continue to inspire.

Marche provencal Stop 8
Antibes is like a storybook come to life, a quaint village where every street and stone whispers legends of the past. Wander through the vibrant Provencal market, where the colors and scents of fresh, local delicacies — from juicy berries to exotic fruits — tantalize your senses (market open every morning, closed on monday). Gaze up at the formidable Fort Carré, a 16th-century fortress, engineered to withstand the fiercest of attacks by the ingenious Marshal Vauban, whose name now graces the nearby port. Speaking of the port, Port de Vauban isn't just any harbor; it's a playground for the world's wealthiest, a place where luxurious yachts claim their berths like floating palaces. Antibes marries historical intrigue with opulent modernity — a place where every visit feels like you've stepped into a page of history while being firmly planted in the lap of luxury.
25 min
Musee Picasso Stop 9
In Antibes stands the grand Grimaldi Castle, a place that once played host to the legendary artist Pablo Picasso. For a few magical months in 1946, Picasso called this castle his studio, where he channelled the Mediterranean’s light and charm into his masterpieces. Though we won’t step inside, the castle’s very walls seem to hold echoes of his genius. Today, it's known as the Picasso Museum, a testament to the time when Picasso infused the ancient stones with his revolutionary vision. Just being here, in the presence of his creative aura, is to touch a piece of art history.
35 min
Le Sentier du Littoral, Cap d'Antibes Stop 10
Nestled between Antibes and Juan Les Pins is the enchanting Cap d'Antibes, a spot so beautiful that it even captured the heart of the great American writer Fitzgerald. Stretching out into the sea for over 4 kilometers, it’s a slice of paradise lined with luxury villas, whispering tales of a tranquil life by the sparkling waters. Here, the beaches are postcard-perfect, and the hotels are the stuff of dreams, each one promising five-star luxury. It’s no wonder this place has earned itself the glamorous nickname "Billionaires Bay." Every view feels like it's straight out of a storybook, inviting you to be part of its timeless narrative.
