A morning coastal drive peels away from the glitter of Monte Carlo and the Mediterranean opens like a coin of blue — Nice’s pebble shore glinting to the west, the foothills where Grasse's flower fields perfume the air to the north. On this eight‑hour private circuit, travelers move at a measured pace: brief photo stops at the Casino de Monte‑Carlo, a walk through Monaco City’s steep lanes, then eastward along the Promenade des Anglais to Nice’s Old Town before heading inland to Grasse’s perfume ateliers.
