This tour will offer us an opportunity to relax aboard a coach and admire the spectacular views of the Grand Corniche, the beautiful vistas along the shore on the Middle Corniche, and the coastal resorts of the Lower Corniche. Leaving Monaco we will join the highest of the three roads, passing the Vista Hotel with marvellous views extending out to Italy and immediately below Monaco, and the village of La Turbie which overlooks Monaco at an altitude of 480 metres (1,500 feet). We shall then join the Middle Corniche, offering an extended view to the North Mountains and to the village of Eze. We will not visit this village which is perched atop a rocky outcrop, but we’ll stop at the square situated at the bottom of it, for photo opportunities and a chance to stretch our legs. Continuing our journey along the Middle Corniche, the panorama extends from the tip of Cap d’Ail to the Estérel (a formation of volcanic rocks). We will have a lovely view of Beaulieu, Cap Ferrat, Villefranche, Nice and Cap d’ Antibes. We shall make one more stop, for a view of Nice at Mont Boron, before continuing with a panoramic drive of Nice. Finally we will enjoy views along the Lower Corniche, another scenic route of the French Riviera. This tour involves very little walking.
