Description

Happy French Riviera® unveils the third chapter of its Legendary Tours on GetYourGuide, a journey from Provence to the French Riviera: Gourdon and Sainte-Agnès, listed among the Most Beautiful Villages of France; Saint-Paul-de-Vence, legendary village of artists; Menton, the “Pearl of France”; Monaco and Monte-Carlo. Shaped and refined through conversations with customers, this itinerary gives every traveler the time to discover, experience and fully enjoy each place. There is no rush, because every moment matters: the authenticity of Provence, the colors of the French Riviera, and the elegance of Monaco and Monte-Carlo. This creation gives full meaning to the trilogy imagined by Mario, founder of Happy French Riviera®. Following the immediate success of the Verdon Gorges and Saint-Tropez, more than 1,000 travelers shared these experiences alongside him in the first few months alone. Hundreds of five-star reviews praise his guidance, his passion and his distinctive way of revealing his region. Your journey begins in Nice aboard a 100% electric vehicle with a panoramic roof, leaving the coast for the Gorges du Loup, between limestone cliffs, sheer rock faces and the Provençal sky. Gourdon comes into view, suspended 760 meters above sea level. In days gone by, the legendary Path to Paradise was the only way in. Beyond its lanes, a breathtaking panorama opens up from Provence to the Mediterranean. Spectacular. From Gourdon’s horizon to the artistic vibrancy of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the journey enters another world. Explore at your own pace, with the time needed to wander the lanes, step inside a gallery or push open the door of an artist’s studio. An exhibition, an artist, a gallery opening: perhaps the discovery of an art form that has yet to be named. But it is also about strolling, absorbing the atmosphere and choosing to lose yourself on purpose. On the way to Sainte-Agnès, another of the Most Beautiful Villages of France, the scenery takes on a new dimension. Between the Prealps and the Maritime Alps, mountain ridges rise above the Riviera and the endless deep blue. Sainte-Agnès is also Europe’s highest coastal village. At nearly 800 meters, facing Menton and the Italian Riviera, the experience continues over our signature cocktail, a blend of Prosecco and artisanal Provençal lavender syrup. Menton appears. In the “Pearl of France,” the Riviera takes on Ligurian accents. Beneath the bell tower of the Basilica of Saint Michael, ochre and yellow façades step down toward the sea; lanes, vaulted passages and stairways sculpt the old town into the hillside. Monaco finally reveals itself in two acts. On the Rock, the history of the Grimaldis takes shape among the Prince’s Palace, the cathedral where Princess Grace rests, and the old town. In Monte-Carlo, the scene shifts: the Casino de Monte-Carlo, Belle Époque grand hotels and the curves of the Formula 1 circuit form the finale. The journey then returns to Nice along the French Riviera.
