About this tour
This 9-hour private tour threads together the sensory highlights of the French Riviera's hinterland. Start at Antibes' bustling market, where vendors hawk local produce and regional specialities, then climb to the hilltop artist haven of St-Paul-de-Vence. The centrepiece is Bellet, one of France's oldest wine regions, where you'll taste vintages at Domaine de la Source. A detour to Gairaut waterfall rounds out the day with sweeping views back toward Nice. Your driver handles all logistics—you handle the discoveries.

What to expect
Expect a morning at the Antibes market—hectic, colourful, loud—where you'll navigate stalls selling everything from olives to lavender. The drive uphill to St-Paul-de-Vence takes roughly 45 minutes; the village itself demands at least 90 minutes to wander its stone lanes and peer into artist studios. Bellet's wine tasting unfolds in a working vineyard setting; you'll sample several glasses and learn the estate's story. The waterfall stop is short but rewarding—a easy walk to the cascade and viewpoint. Plan for moderate walking across cobbles and uneven terrain. The full day includes hotel pickup and drop-off.
