Morning light lifts off the Mediterranean and the chauffeur eases an air-conditioned vehicle onto the coastal road — the sea daring you to watch, the cliffside villages holding their breath. Over the next 12 hours the private tour moves from Nice’s promenade to Cannes’ red-carpet façade, through Monaco’s glitzy harbor and the painted houses of Saint-Tropez. The rhythm is road and shore: quick stops for views, longer pauses to walk a quay or sip espresso.
