ROMANTIC LE FLEUR OF ARISTOCRACY
We offer you to dip into the atmosphere of relax and inner harmony by contemplating the beauties of the southern coast of France.
We collected five fascinating adventures, combining various events and festivals, the charm of small medieval villages, as well as exquisite restaurants, luxury hotels and picturesque azure beaches.
We will show you the Cote d'Azur as attracting and enchanting as we saw it.

MAY 26
8 DAYS
01
FIRST DAY
Arrival to Nice at 12:30. Transfer to Antibes.
Here on the Cote d'Azur of France, in a town nattily located between Cannes and Nice, "the art of enjoying life" is absorbed with every breath. You can easily catch this feeling by simply walking along the local sea-front, where in the evenings gulls beg fishermen for fish scraps. Or walk in the park, where the locals play petanha with genuine passion.
In Antibes, from the early morning to midnight, you would not lose the feeling that you were in the 20s of the last century, where at the next table in a cafe you can accidentally meet a Fitzgerald couple or Pablo Picasso.
In the city where Picasso created his probably the most resilient painting "La Joie de vivre", and Fitzgerald worked on the touching and sad novel "The Night is Gentle," the past is felt as clearly as the present. And that's why the mood reigning here can be compared to expensive French wine, in the bouquet of which, like flower notes, echoes of different epochs are combined: from antiquity and the Middle Ages to Belle Époque and roaring twenties.
Accommodation and rest at the hotel. Dinner.
02
SECOND DAY
Excursion to the Picasso Museum. (optional).
For the first time Picasso came to Antibes in July 1939, but he settled here for a long time in 1946 after the curator of the local Museum of History and Archeology, Romuald Dor de la Souchère, arranged for the artist a personal studio in Grimaldi Castle.
Artists have always loved Antibes. Here, inspiration came before and after Picasso. And this is quite understandable. On the Cote d'Azur, the color of the sky in the evenings shimmers with all shades of blue and pink, and therefore it seems clear pearl, enclosed into the heart of the shell. The view of the sea, whose waves are stately caress the coastal sand, then, like an offended woman, "slap in the face" to the smooth stones of the fortress wall surrounding the city, can awaken the creative principle even in the accountant's impartial soul.
In the second half of the day you will have an exciting master class on blowing glass and tasting olive oil.
Night in Antibes.
03
THIRD DAY
In the Bay of Cassis there are impressive landscapes with exceptional views of the limestone massifs towering above the turquoise waters.
Let's admire the variety of colors of the Azure Sea floating along the shore on a yacht.
Our path: Antibes - Porquerol, Cap Taya, Cap Esterel, Cassis.
Night in the Provencal village of Cassis.
04
FOURTH DAY
A trip to Gord - one of the most beautiful pearls of the beautiful Provence. The city was built in 1535 and included in the list of historical monuments, these city is replete with historical sights. The castle, one of the most beautiful witnesses of history, has two faces: a fortified northern facade and a southern facade in the Renaissance style.
After we will go to see the Abbey of Siank - one of the monasteries of France, famous not only for its beautifully preserved Romanesque architecture, but also for its excellent lavender fields, one of which is located near the walls of the monastery. We will also visit the Verdon Canyon with its incredibly green waters and Lake St. Croix.
Night in the hotel in Cassis.
05
FIFTH DAY
Perhaps it's time to evaluate the wide sandy beaches, most of which are marked by blue flags and arrange a lazy day of doing nothing in the cozy atmosphere of the small town of Le Lavandou.
The former fishing village today is a charming resort with beautiful views of the Yer islands and a bay full of snow-white yachts.
Night in the hotel in Le Lavandou

SEVENTH DAY
Rest at the hotel.
For those who wish, a trip to the peninsula of Cap Ferrat is possible. An island of natural luxury, which you can enjoy, walking along the numerous coastal paths. Thanks to the luxurious villas, the place is considered the most fashionable resort of the French Riviera.
Let's open this curtain and look behind the scenes of the beautiful villa Efrussi de Rothschild- the only historical monument of the Cote d'Azur, open to free access.
You will find an unprecedented beauty park, consisting of several themed gardens with patios, shady paths, pavilions, grottoes, waterfalls and ponds.
he fantasy image of the villa combines elements of the Renaissance palaces of Florence, Venice, Verona. The pink color of the building, which embodied the tastes of the Baroness Rothschild, is also surprising.
