From Nice
to Monte Carlo
What could be better than a wonderful vintage car to travel the « corniche » linking Nice to Menton crossing picturesque villages, enjoying breathtaking sights?
Nice
This beautiful drive lets you enjoy the spectacular views over Nice and the Bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer before arriving in Eze.
Eze
This extremely well preserved, small, medieval, village is perched on a rocky promontory overlooking the blue waters of the French Riviera. It is such a fascinating place that personalities like Nietzsche, Walt Disney, Bono and The Edge of U2, felt in love with it.
The Jardin Exotique on top of Eze must not be missed, it is the kingdom of cactuses, situated on a terrace at 429m above sea level which alone is worth the visit.
Monaco – Monte Carlo
Stroll through Monaco-Ville, the old town, located on Le Rocher, from the Oceanographic Museum to the Prince’s Palace to the St Nicholas Cathedral where you can pay respect to Princess Grace and Prince Rainier III at their tombs. Both sides of the rock give you spectacular views.
After taking a lap around the Monaco Grand Prix track you’ll end up in Monte-Carlo on the world-renowned Casino Square with its opulent Hôtel de Paris, the famous Casino de Monte-Carlo, the elegant Café de Paris where you go for a drink to see and be seen. How about a shopping spree in the impressive collection of deluxe boutiques?
Travelling back to Nice along the coastal road brings you past the more laid-back seaside resorts of Cap d’Ail, Eze-Bord-de-Mer, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean Cap Ferrat and Villefranche-sur-Mer. The route is lined with elegant 19th-century villas and gardens. As you drive, the view over the Mediterranean after every turn is magic.
