1 SEPTEMBER
9 DAYS
01
FIRST DAY
Arrival to Nice at 12.30. Transfer to Antibes.
Here on the Cote d'Azur of France, in a town located neatly between Cannes and Nice, "the art of enjoying life" fills every breath. You can catch this feeling easily just strolling along the local embankment, where in the evenings voracious gulls beg fishermen for fish scraps. Or walking in the park, on the paths of which local citizens play petanha with genuine excitement.
In Antibes, from the early morning until midnight you will have the feeling that you are in the 1920s, when a Fitzgerald couple or Pablo Picasso could be seen in a cafe at a nearby table.
In this town Picasso created his perhaps the most resilient picture of "La Joie de vivre", and Fitzgerald worked on the tender and sad novel "The Night is Tender". Here, the past is felt no less clearly than the present. Flavor of this place can be compared with expensive French wine, in a bouquet of which different epochs are combined like floral notes: from antiquity and the Middle Ages to Belle Époque and roaring twenties.
Accommodation and rest at the hotel. Dinner.
02
SECOND DAY
Rest at the hotel. In the afternoon excursion to Grasse - perfume capital of the Côte d'Azur.
Visit to the international museum of perfumery and the museum of Villa Fragonard.
Return to Antibes in the afternoon. Night at the hotel.
03
THIRD DAY
Departure to Eze.
The village of Eze is located between the blue sea and the azure sky, caressed by the jasmine field and drowning in the thickets of bougainvillea. Here, on top of the cliff, there is a wonderful garden of exotic plants, from where a breathtaking view of the peninsula of Cap Ferrat opens.
A leisurely walk and a high gastronomic cuisine. You will taste authentic Michelin delights in the restaurant of the Hotel La Chèvre d'Or. This place was appreciated by such celebrities as Walt Disney, Marlene Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, Roger Moore, Tony Curtis, Clint Eastwood and Robert De Niro.
Accommodation and rest at the hotel. Free time.
04
FOURTH DAY
A trip to Saint Paul de Vence.
This town owes its worldwide fame to the Parisian artists, who chose the restaurant "Golden Dove". It was a favorite place of Modigliani, Picasso, Cocteau and Prever, and many others. Matisse, Leger, Calder, Georges Braque and Marc Chagall were among the regular customers, and their works decorate the interior of the restaurant. Poor artists simply could not pay for food and shelter, so they left their works to the owner. Thus, the owners of the restaurant gathered an outstanding collection, which may be envied by the most eminent museum. Yves Montand and Simone Signoret also met, and later celebrated the wedding in the "Golden Dove".
Later, St. Paul was discovered by the cinematic bohemia. Brigitte Bardot, Greta Garbo, Sophia Loren, Bert Lancaster, Catherine Deneuve - these are just some of the names from the long list of celebrities who have chosen the quiet town.
In the afternoon - rest. Night at hotel in Eze.
05
FIFTH DAY
Transfer to Cassis.
Have you dreamed to see the fjords? Now there is no need to fly to Norway. We will go on a small cruise on 5 calanques - the most beautiful small coves.
Admire the coastline and turquoise water, relax on the beach. View the amazing houses of pastel colors, framing the picturesque harbor; spend time in the charming shop or cafe of this town and enjoy the delightful views of the Cote d'Azur, opening up from numerous viewing platforms.
Free time. Night in Cassis.
06
SIXTH DAY
A trip to Marseilles.
So, what is the main city of Provence like? It is a picturesque bay with fortified bastilles, it is buildings preserved since the 16th and 17th centuries, it is the residential quarters on the hills, the islands on the nearest horizon and, of course, the If Castle, which became famous due to the novel by the Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas.
Add to this the beautiful Mediterranean climate, the fragrant bouillabaisse, the legendary Marseillaise and the beautiful image of the cathedral of La Major in the Roman-Byzantine style.
In the afternoon - rest. Night at the hotel in Casiss.
07
SEVENTH DAY
Well, it's time to evaluate the wide sandy beaches and arrange a lazy day doing nothing in a small atmospheric place of Le Lavandou.
The former fishing village, has now become a charming resort with snow-white yachts in the bay and beautiful views of the Yer islands. By the way, there are more than a dozen beaches in Le Lavandou and most of them are marked by blue flags (the award given to the cleanest and safest vacation spots on the coast).
Rest and night at the hotel in Le Lavandou.
08
EIGHTH DAY
Trip to Saint-Tropez.
The city of gendarmes and impressionists. Once a modest fishing village that grew up around the port turned into a cult place after Roger Vadim shot his famous film "And God Created Woman" with Brigitte Bardot in the title role. Today, villas of celebrities, luxury clubs and fashionable restaurants grow as mushrooms here.
The old port is nowadays a very picturesque object, surrounded by luxurious cafes, with marinas full of expensive yachts and a public that defile in haute couture outfits.
