A morning light spills across the Promenade des Anglais as the minivan peels away from the cruise terminal and the Mediterranean dares you to look past its blue edge. Travelers move from Nice’s sea-swept boulevards into the narrow, sun-warmed lanes of Old Town, then climb toward Eze where rock and sky meet at a dramatic overlook. By afternoon the road narrows into the Monte Carlo circuit; the roar of engines is ghosted by the memory of races while marble and palm trees frame the casino square.
