Palais des Festivals et des Congres of Cannes
Take the opportunity to walk on the famous red carpet covering the world famous steps of the Palais des Festivals - where it all takes place in May - you might feel like walking up ‘the 24 steps of glory’ and perhaps strike your most graceful pose on the red carpet. Do have a look at the local Walk of Fame with its celebrities’ handprints before you go, too.

Antibes
Once the high-end boutiques and splendid hotels of Cannes are left behind, you will take the coastal road to Antibes which traverses the summer resorts of Golfe-Juan and Juan-les-Pins, both steeped in history as well as ongoing events. You’ve now reached Antibes, or Antipolis as the Greeks had first named it. A town which played the role of sentinel for the country during many centuries, hence its ramparts circling the Old Town. There you might consider strolling along those XVth century walls and Grimaldi Castle - nowadays the Picasso museum.
Then your guide will drive you out of the Old Town. Once past Antibes’ large marina and its ‘Billionaires’ Quay‘, you will proceed along the coastline until you reach the town of Villeneuve-Loubet with its extraordinary ‘Marina of the Bay of Angels’ from where you will go inland towards your last site visit.

St-Paul-de-Vence
Last but not least, Saint-Paul-de-Vence will enchant you. When walking through the mesmerizing maze of cobbled streets with their numerous listed monuments, it becomes clear how this medieval village appealed to a vast number of artists with the likes of Matisse, Modigliani, Chagall or Picasso instilling a definite artistic touch that one can now ascertain when gazing at the windows of the countless art galleries. Taking you back to another time - notably due to its aura of light at certain hours - it is no wonder why famous actors too have chosen the quaint village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence as their ideal retreat when coming to stay on the Riviera.

Fantastic
celestinoc353, 10-04-2022
It was an amazing tour. I wish it was longer though.
But i only booked the half day tour. We already went over the allotted time. Sabine our host was so fantastic. She was very accommodating. And she came earlier than the pick up time and patiently waited for us. There were only 2 of us in the tour so it felt like a private tour. I highly recommend. We will be back to Monaco/Nice. We love this place!
Scenic way to get a glimpse of the French Riviera

Jenna provided a great tour starting in Monaco, driving to Antibes, Cannes and St. Paul-de-Vence. Jenna was very knowledgeable about the area and history of these locations. She was friendly and easy to talk with. This trip had a lot of driving, but was a great way to see different parts of the French Riviera.
The experience was incredible...

Spending time in St Paul Du Vence was magical, it’s a must! However I would also have liked to spend more time walking around and exploring in Cannes, and maybe some more time in Antibes too
