Select participants and date
You step out of a Monte‑Carlo hotel at dawn and the sea is already working—light climbing along the water, barges and morning ferries breaking the surface like punctuation marks. The day opens with a chauffeured Mercedes waiting to ferry you east along the Riviera: cliffs and villas slide by, the air tastes faintly of salt and rosemary, and the itinerary reads like a concentrated primer on Provençal Mediterranean life.

Adventure Tips
Start early for light and fewer crowds
Departures before 8:00 AM capture softer light in Monaco and shorter lines in historic sites; midday gets busy in Saint‑Tropez.
Comfortable footwear matters
Expect multiple short walks on cobbles and uneven coastal paths—sturdy walking shoes reduce fatigue and improve traction.
Pack water and snacks
Scheduled stops include cafés, but bring a refillable bottle to stay hydrated during transfers and hikes along the coast.
Plan for variable weather
Coastal wind can be chilly even on warm days—bring a light windbreaker and a hat for sun protection.
