About this tour
Tour the French Riviera in a restored 1977 Citroën Méhari, a convertible that captures the spirit of coastal exploration. Starting from Nice, you'll drive the scenic Moyenne Corniche with a multilingual local guide, stopping at medieval Èze Village, the clifftop town of La Turbie, Monaco's glittering principality, and the Belle Époque gems of Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. The 4.5-hour route is flexible—trim it or extend it—and tailored to your interests. Maximum three passengers means genuine conversation and personalised attention.

What to expect
You'll settle into an open-air Méhari—wind in your hair, no glass between you and the landscape. The drive hugs the corniche with hairpin turns and sudden vistas of the Mediterranean below. Your guide weaves local history and architectural detail into the route rather than delivering a script. You'll stop long enough to wander Èze's narrow lanes, snap photos from La Turbie's outlook, and grab a coffee in one of the fishing villages. The pace is leisurely; the journey is as much the point as the destinations. Expect narrow European roads and occasional tourist crowds in peak season.
Good to know
The Méhari has no roof, so bring sunscreen and a light layer for wind at altitude. Infants must sit on an adult's lap; the car has no standard child seats. Not suitable for anyone with back problems due to vintage suspension. WiFi and refreshments are on board. Tours run 3–5.5 hours depending on your preferences.
