## Overview

Arrive in the bay of Cannes, along the sandy beaches and luxuous boutiques. Stroll on the mythic Croisette's boulevard and just imagine the glamour on the red carpet of the film festival palace among the celebrities' handprints.
Then, escape to the inland for its quiet to awake your senses in Grasse : World's capital of perfume. Appreciate a guided tour in a factory that will reveal you its secrets or wander in the heart of the old town.
In the course of the Alps and valleys, you will reach Gourdon, "Balcony of the French Riviera" that culminates over the "Big blue sea".
