Morning light slices the Mediterranean as your private vehicle climbs the Grande Corniche toward Eze, the village perched above the sea. Stone alleys narrow and rise; bougainvillea leans from old walls and the air carries salt and citrus. Later, the lanes of Saint-Paul-de-Vence open into courtyards where modern art and museum-worthy cafes sit within medieval ramparts. By noon you’ll stand on Monaco’s rock, watching the changing of the guard against a backdrop of superyachts and the tunnel of the Grand Prix track.
