EXCEPTIONAL FULL-DAY-TOUR: DISCOVER 3 COUNTRIES IN 1 DAY!

Italy, France and Monaco

Tour Description

A real good experience to enjoy the flavor of Italy and discover the habits of native people. Overflowing with colours, exotic aromas and flowers from the South of Italy. The warm welcome given by the local shopkeepers gives a glimpse of the Italian conviviality.

You will start with a stroll through a picturesque street market where you can get bargains especially for leather goods, fashion accessories, shoes and clothes … at least you prefer savoring delicious fruits and local cheese.

Take a break for a veritable Italien Cappuccino or Latte Macchiato.

Market days: Tuesday, Friday and Saturday

Return via the seacoast road to Menton, the “Pearl of the Riviera”, stroll down the charming pedestrian street, a must for all visitors to Menton as it is packed with shops and extends from the sea front to the “Biovès garden” where are exposed the Lemon and Orange sculptures in February. Maybe you would also like to try the famous Limoncello liqueur….

We will continue to Monaco and Monte-Carlo : visit the old town, the Cathedral which is the most important Monegasque architecture feature. Erected in the old town on the Roc, it was built between 1875 and 1884 under the direction of the architect Lenormand. Possibility to visit Princess’ Grace and Prince Rainier’s graves.

We’ll drive on the famous Formula One circuit which was inaugurated in 1929 by Prince Louis II of Monaco and has barely changed since ! It has become the legendary Grand Prix par excellence which all F1 racers’ dream of winning.

At the heart of the Monte-Carlo aera, the casino is the symbol of Monegasque glamour. Its legendary success lies behind Monaco’s wealth. The present building was designed by Charles Garnier in 1878, it is a Belle Epoque jewel, all around, the luxury shops and legendary establishments such as the glamorous “Hotel de Paris” and the fancy “Café de Paris”.
