St Paul de Vence & Eze Shore Excursion from Nice

This Nice shore trip visits two of the most beautiful and charming hilltop villages on the French Riviera. Your driver guide takes you to Eze, known for its stunning views and quaint charm, and St Paul de Vence, known for its art galleries and medieval walls. You have time to explore each village and enjoy free time for lunch.

After meeting your driver guide in Nice you enjoy a scenic drive through the Riviera until you reach Eze. This pedestrian only French medieval village is made up of tiny stone lanes and buildings that cling to the cliffs more than 1000 feet above the sea. There is time to walk to the top of the town's hill, where a succulent garden offers sweeping views of the sea far below, and to browse the boutiques or enjoy an ice cream with a million dollar view.

Please note that you must leave the van at the base of the village and walk up a steep hill into town, which is not recommended for anyone with limited mobility. If you are not up to walking, you can enjoy the scents of Provence at the nearby Fragonard perfume factory instead.

Later this morning you drive to St Paul de Vence. The van parks outside the medieval walls near lovely cafes, where you can enjoy a relaxing lunch while watching locals play the Provencal games of boules or petanque. After lunch you can stroll the cobblestone streets of this popular hilltop Provencal town to enjoy its many art galleries and boutiques.

This medieval jewel has long been known for its artists, and it is where many painters and actors have lived over the years. You can also walk along the town's medieval walls and into the old cemetery to see the resting place of the painter Marc Chagall. If you are interested in modern art, consider a stop at the Maeght Foundation Gallery or the Chapel of the Rosary.

At the end of this leisurely Nice shore excursion, your driver guide brings you back to the pier.
