WHAT IS INCLUDED:
TOUR DESCRIPTION
Beyond the Riviera private tour is a journey into the countryside of the French Riviera, far from the flashy coastline.
GRASSE
The private tour can start with the discovery of Grasse where you will be able to visit the perfume factory and its museum free of charge. Grasse is considered the world's perfume capital. In fact, the region with its favorable climate, strong flower industry and presence of many local perfume factories, contributed to Grasse's worldwide reputation in the perfume industry. Grasse attracted again attention from the general public with the release of the movie “Perfume: The Story of a Murderer” in 2006 based on the book “Perfume” by Patrick Süskind.
GOURDON & TOURRETTES-SUR-LOUP
The private tour continues with the visit of Gourdon, an Eagle's nest village overlooking the Gorges du Loup valley. The view is breathtaking, and Gourdon can be an ideal place for a quick lunch. We continue our private tour to Tourrettes-sur-Loup and have a walk into this beautiful medieval fortified village, perched on a narrow spur of land extending from very rocky hills.
SAINT-PAUL-DE-VENCE
With our private tour, we will take you to the medieval village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, one of the most beautiful villages in France, home of many artists, like Marc Chagall, Picasso, Renoir and Matisse and others who used to stay and look for inspiration in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Walk through this stunning village and admire the famous art galleries of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Sit down for a drink in one of its cafés or visit the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, a true museum in nature, with modern and contemporary art in all its forms (by Chagall, Giacometti, Léger, Miró and many other artists).
MARSATIS' ADVISE
The Beyond the Riviera private tour is a scenic drive into the Riviera's countryside and hills. If you're looking for picturesque and perched hill villages, which some date back to the medieval period, then it's the private tour for you. It's easy for everyone, but Gourdon and Saint-Paul-de-Vence require some walking. For those who can't walk much, they can stay with the driver-guide or chill-out in a nearby café.
