Top 15 Experiences
- The Promenade des Anglais in the Evening Light — When the sun sets behind the angel wings of the Baie des Anges and bathes the promenade in golden light, you understand why Nice is the capital of the Côte d'Azur. → Chap. Nice
- Driving the Corniche Coastal Roads — The three superimposed coastal roads between Nice and Monaco are among the most spectacular roads in the world. The Grande Corniche offers panoramic views, the Moyenne Corniche passes through Èze, and the Basse Corniche brings you close to the sea. → Chap. Monaco
- Breathing in the Flair at the Monte-Carlo Casino — Even without playing: The casino built by Charles Garnier is an architectural masterpiece of the Belle Époque. The lobby is free — and the marble columns, frescoes, and chandeliers are worth the visit alone. → Chap. Monaco
- Eating Socca on the Cours Saleya — The Niçoise street food: a crispy chickpea pancake, hot from the wood oven, sprinkled with black pepper. Best enjoyed at Chez Thérésa on the flower market. → Chap. Nice
- Creating Perfume in Grasse — In the world capital of perfume, create your own scent: Fragonard, Molinard, and Galimard offer workshops where you can compose your personal perfume from hundreds of essences. → Chap. Saint-Tropez & Hinterland
- Experiencing Saint-Tropez's Old Town in the Morning — Before the yachts and tourists arrive: the Place des Lices under plane trees, the Provençal market, fresh croissants, and café au lait in a boulangerie. The real Saint-Tropez. → Chap. Saint-Tropez & Hinterland
- Getting Lost in Nice's Old Town — The narrow streets of Vieux Nice with their ochre facades, laundry lines, baroque churches, and hidden squares are a labyrinth to fall in love with. Every corner a surprise. → Chap. Nice

- Visiting the Medieval Èze — The eagle's nest village 429 meters above the sea: winding alleys, an exotic garden with cacti, and perhaps the most spectacular view of the entire coast. → Chap. Monaco
- Drinking Rosé at a Winery in Provence — Provence produces the best rosé in the world. A visit to a winery near Bandol, Cassis, or in the Var hinterland with tasting is an experience for all the senses. → Chap. Saint-Tropez & Hinterland

- Eating Bouillabaisse in a Harbor Restaurant — The legendary Provençal fish stew with rascasse, scorpion fish, saffron, and rouille crostini: a plate full of the Mediterranean. Most authentic in the old port of Nice or Antibes. → Chap. Nice
- Seeing the Sunset from the Grande Corniche — From the highest coastal road, you see the sun sinking into the Mediterranean and turning the sky over Monaco, Nice, and the entire coast into a blazing orange. Unforgettable and free. → Chap. Monaco
