You step out of the air-conditioned minivan into a bright Provençal morning: limestone alleys slope toward sunlit courtyards, and a scent of jasmine and orange blossom drifts from a nearby perfumery. This full-day loop from Nice threads the high ridge towns above the Riviera—Grasse’s fragrance houses, Gourdon’s cliff-top outlooks, Tourette-sur-Loup’s violet-scented stalls and the ramparts of Saint-Paul-de-Vence where light seems painted for galleries.
