(Breakfast / Dinner)

After breakfast this morning, we shall proceed to Eze – a charming hilltop town on the Cote d’Azur. Its beautiful cobblestone streets and hot-pink bougainvillea are a far cry from the glamour of Cannes or St Tropez—and for travelers who could care less about celebrities and megayachts, that is quite appealing. Take time to explore the medieval village and discover the history of perfume during a guided tour of the famous Galimard Perfume Factory before transfer to Nice for our overnight stay.

(Breakfast / Dinner)

This morning, we shall immerse ourselves in Nice’s history on Place Garibaldi in the Old Town and marvel at the modern New Town as you stroll along the Promenade des Arts, home to the Modern Art Museum, Sosno’s library and the Acropolis Centre. Next, is the well-known St Nicholas Cathedral, located in the city of Nice which was opened in 1912, thanks to the generosity of Tsar Nicholas II, it is the largest Russian Orthodox Cathedral outside of Russia. After lunch, drive down to Cannes, where Galas, regattas, the Film Festival and an outrageously attractive and affluent set Vast yachts obscure the view and the town lives up to its motto, “Life is a festival.” People-watching and hotel-lined La Croisette are the activities that brings most visitors to Cannes.
