Private tour to Perched Villages

Option 1:  La Turbie, Roquebune-Cap-Martin et Eze Village

Join me as we traverse ancient streets, winding through medieval architecture, offering breathtaking views of the Mediterranean landscapes and sea. Prepare for an unforgettable adventure steeped in history, culture, and panoramic vistas.

Our first stop is La Turbie, often referred to as the “Monaco terrace” due to its panoramic view of the Principality of Monaco. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to admire the ruins of an imposing monument: the Trophy of the Alps. Built in 7 BC, this monument was dedicated to Emperor Augustus and served as a symbol of Roman power. Delve into the rich history of this site, which once marked the road linking Italy to Cimiez, the Roman Quarter of Nice.

Next, we will venture to Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, a historic village perched atop a rocky promontory. Explore the remnants of its medieval past, including the 10th-century castle and the oldest olive tree. Immerse yourself in the stunning panoramic views of the coastline and the surrounding countryside, offering a glimpse into the timeless beauty of the French Riviera.

Our journey continues to Eze Village, a breathtaking hilltop enclave overlooking the Mediterranean. Lose yourself in its labyrinthine streets adorned with boutiques and artisan shops, offering a treasure trove of local crafts and souvenirs. Be sure to visit the exotic garden, perched high above the village, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping panoramic vistas stretching as far as the eye can see.
