On this tour we will discover the more scenic and artistic locations of the famed French Riviera. After leaving the pier our coach proceeds west, to the glittering enclave of Cannes – famous for its film festival, when movie stars can be seen here in abundance. A short stop at the elegant La Croisette Avenue allows us to admire the renowned hotels and the shops of the Rue d’Antibes. We will enjoy some free time to explore Cannes by ourselves, before continuing with our tour. Return to our coach we shall then journey along the Gorges du Loup Canyon to St Paul de Vence, the meeting place of artists and stars. The tapering outline of the village stands out from afar, above the rolling hills and rich valleys of the Vence countryside, in a charming setting. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant en route to St Paul. Our exploration of this 16th century walled village begins in the afternoon, when we will discover St Paul, typical of the fortified villages guarding the frontier, has retained much of its medieval appearance; its ramparts remain remarkably intact to this day. We will have an opportunity to stroll through the narrow, cobblestone lanes and explore the many wonderful boutiques and art galleries, before returning to our ship.
This tour involves approximately 1 hour of walking. Uphill, uneven ground will be encountered; therefore we do not recommend participation by passengers with limited mobility.
