What to expect
You'll depart Villefranche and head west toward Nice, where your guide leads you through the fragrant flower market—a sensory highlight if you visit Tuesday to Sunday. From there, the route climbs inland to Saint-Paul de Vence, a fortified medieval settlement where narrow lanes wind between art galleries and local cafés. Allow time to explore at leisure before descending to Cannes, where palm-lined avenues and designer flagships dominate the seafront. Throughout, your driver narrates the region's history and points out landmarks from the coast road. Stops are approximate; your guide adjusts timing based on group interest.
