What to expect
You'll board a comfortable air-conditioned minivan at Cannes port and begin a leisurely drive eastward along the Côte d'Azur. The route passes Nice, where you can pause at viewpoints or walk the waterfront. Eze, a fortified medieval settlement, offers commanding views down the coastline—bring comfortable shoes for the cobbled streets. Monaco's Belle Époque grandeur and Monte Carlo's casino and harbour are next, though access varies during racing events (check 2026 schedules). Between towns, the drive itself is part of the experience, with the Mediterranean constantly visible. Most stops involve light walking; surfaces are generally stroller and wheelchair-friendly, though some sites need accompaniment.
Good to know
Admission fees to attractions like Eze's church or Monaco's palace are not included—budget separately. Wear layers and bring sunscreen for coastal exposure. Traffic and local events may shift timings; allow flexibility. If travelling during F1 or e-racing events in June, April, or May 2026, Monaco will be off-limits and replaced with alternative stops.
