Spend a day from Nice exploring Monte-Carlo's grand squares and Eze's cliffside lanes, capped by a hands-on cologne workshop in a historic perfumery. This private tour blends coastal views, short hikes on cobbled streets, and the practical craft of fragrance-making.

You descend the Promenade des Anglais at dawn and the coast unfurls: seawater bright against limestone cliffs, the road stringing together terraces of palms and pastel villas. By midmorning the driver drops you in Monte-Carlo, where Belle Époque façades and polished marquees frame the Casino's ornate courtyard. The day moves at a human pace — a guided walk around Monaco-Ville, a window on princely history, then a climb through Eze's steep alleys to a crown of wind and Mediterranean views.
