More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the ship into the bright harbor air of Cannes and into a polished private car that will carry you along the coastal ribbon of the Côte d'Azur for the next seven hours. The road unfurls past sandy beaches and Belle Époque façades; Villefranche and Cap Ferrat slide by like postcards. Èze perches above the Mediterranean — a ruin-and-garden spine of limestone that rewards the short climb with a wide-eyed panorama of blue sea.
