Excursion Eze and panoramic french riviera tour at Montecarlo

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Leave the hustle and bustle of Monaco behind during this picturesque coach and walking tour of Eze. The tiny village of Eze is one of the jewels of the south of France which is probably why it is chosen as a holiday spot by royalty, the rich and the famous. The deep blue waters of the Cote d'Azur are the dramatic backdrop for elegant Nice where you can get an eagle eye of the whole city from atop Castle Hill.

Depart from Fontvieille landing pier on foot with your guide to reach approx 500 m the pick up point assigned for the coaches due to Grand Prix.

Eze

Upon arrival, walk up to and through the 14th-century double gateway.  A sentry walk leads into the steep and narrow streets, passageways and stairways.  At times, the streets run beneath the carefully-restored houses that now serve as smart boutiques or artists' studios.

Panoramic Drive, Corniches

After the visit and time at leisure you will reboard your coach following the Middle Corniche, the panorama extends from the tip of Cap d'Ail to the Estérel. You will have a good view of Beaulieu, Cap Ferrat, Villefranche, Nice, and Cap d'Antibes.  You will make one more stop for a nice view of Nice at Mont Boron.

Then you will enjoy the road driving along the Lower Corniche, another scenic route of the French Riviera. You will pass Beaulieu, a fashionable resort, Eze sur Mer, which lies beneath the cliffs of Eze Village, Cap d'Ail, sheltered by pine and cypress trees, and enter Monaco, your final destination.
