The van climbs the corniche and the Mediterranean opens like a bright sheet; cliffs and switchbacks frame the road as you head east from Cannes toward Eze and Monaco. The air sharpens—sea salt, pine, and citrus—while the driver steers past cliffside viewpoints where the coastline folds into blind coves and yacht-filled harbors.
