## Itinerary

### Day 1: Nice, France
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 04:00 PM

Nice, capital of the Alpes-Maritimes department on the French Riviera, sits on the pebbly shores of the Baie des Anges. Founded by the Greeks and later a retreat for 19th-century European elite, the city has also long attracted artists.

### Day 2: Monaco
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

The prestige and fame of this tiny yet fascinating state extend way beyond its borders, and the location is enchanting. A little way along the coast is the lovely mansion and gardens of the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, home to a unique collection of furniture, paintings and rare porcelain pieces.


### Day 3: Calvi,Corsica, France
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Nestled on a rocky spur in the north-west of Corsica, the port of Calvi offers its whiteness between two sapphire-coloured bays. Capital of the Balagne region, the Genoese city benefits from an exceptional natural setting between the abrupt relief of the central chain, fertile hills and long sandy beaches. From the promontory of the Notre-Dame-de-la-Serra chapel, built in the 19th century on the ruins of a 15th century sanctuary, you will not miss the sublime panorama of the seaside, the mountai...

### Day 4: Menton, France
**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Menton is a town on the French Riviera in southeast France. It’s known for beaches and gardens such as the Serre de la Madone garden, showcasing rare plants. East, the hilly, medieval old town is home to Basilique Saint-Michel, with its 18th-century bell tower, and the ornate facade of La Chapelle des Pénitents-Blancs. Nearby, the Musée Jean Cocteau collection Séverin Wunderman displays works by poet Jean Cocteau.

**Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM

Saint-Tropez is a coastal town on the French Riviera, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of southeastern France. Long popular with artists, the town attracted the international "jet set" in the 1960s, and remains known for its beaches and nightlife. The cobblestoned La Ponche quarter recalls its past as a fishing village, although yachts now outnumber fishing boats in the Vieux Port.

### Day 7: Nice, France

Nice, capital of the Alpes-Maritimes department on the French Riviera, sits on the pebbly shores of the Baie des Anges.
