Head up the Grande Corniche for sweeping coastal views, then lose yourself in cobbled lanes where medieval fortifications meet 20th‑century art. This private half‑day tour pairs Eze’s cliffside panoramas with the artistic streets of Saint‑Paul de Vence.

You begin above the Mediterranean, the air carrying sea-salt and a distant hum of traffic as the road climbs the Grande Corniche. A private vehicle pulls into a vista point and the coastline falls away beneath you — ribboned beaches, the old port of Nice, and the pale houses that lean toward the water. From here the day fractures into two distinct characters: Eze, a medieval “perched” village that clings to rock and wind; and Saint‑Paul de Vence, a compact town where modern art and narrow stone alleys meet.
