The experience

The route starts with a drive along the coast toward Eze, passing Villefranche and the Bay of Millionaires: a stretch of shoreline lined with villas that sets the tone for the day. Eze itself sits 429 meters above sea level, a medieval village built into a cliff face where narrow streets and stone archways open onto views of the Mediterranean. You walk through the old town at your own pace, then head to Fragonard Perfume Factory for a guided tour of how perfumes and cosmetics are made, from raw materials to finished bottles.

From Eze, the route drops into Monaco, where you walk through the old town to see the Prince's Palace, the Courthouse and Cathedral. A drive along the Formula 1 race circuit follows, ending in Monte Carlo: the neighborhood built around the famous casino, the Hotel de Paris and Café de Paris. The car returns you to Cannes port by 4 p.m., timed for ship departures.

A private driver handles the navigation and driving between stops, so the day is paced by the car rather than a group schedule. The vehicle is air-conditioned, and the stops themselves are walkable but involve some climbing in Eze's steep medieval streets.
