Drive the corniche from Nice to Eze and Monaco on an eight‑hour small‑group tour that mixes cliffside village walks, a guided Fragonard perfumery tour, and free time in Monte‑Carlo. Expect steep cobbles, panoramic sea views and a close-up of Monaco’s palace and Grand Prix route.

The van peels away from Nice and the Mediterranean opens—brilliant blue pressed against limestone cliffs. The road climbs, curves and exposes finer viewpoints: tiny harbors, villas clinging to terraces, and Eze sitting high above the sea like a stone watchtower. You step into narrow cobbled lanes where aromatic herbs and sea air mingle, then descend to a perfumery where distilled flowers and resin tell the story of Provence in scent.
