Description

Begin your day with an audioguided visit to the Monaco Casino, a Belle Époque landmark richly decorated with frescoes, stained glass, and bas-reliefs themed around women, nature, games, and emotions.

Next, take a guided city tour of Monaco-ville, also called the Rock, the historic and political center of Monaco. See the Prince’s Palace, government buildings, the Town Hall, and cultural sites including the Musée Océanographique, known for its cliffside location.

At Place du Palais, observe Monaco’s official princely residence, the Palais Princier, originally a Genoese fortress from 1191 and transformed over centuries. Learn about the Grimaldi family’s history and the connection to Prince Rainier III and Grace Kelly.

After exploring Monaco, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before heading to the medieval village of Eze, perched over 400 meters above sea level. Wander through cobbled streets, vaulted passageways, and traditional stone buildings with Roman tile roofs.

Visit the 12th-century Castle of Èze and participate in a guided tour and cologne workshop at the Gallimard Perfumery in Eze-Village.
