Èze, Monaco and Menton: A One-Day Trip

The stretch of coast east of Nice is the Riviera at its most concentrated. This classic day links three very different gems.

Morning — Èze

Start in Èze, the medieval village clinging to a peak above the sea. Climb to the Jardin Exotique d'Èze for the view, and breathe in the perfume at Fragonard.

Midday — Monaco

Drop down to Monaco for the Casino square, Port Hercule and lunch with a view. Even a couple of hours captures the principality's glamour.

Afternoon — Menton

Continue to Menton, the gentle "pearl of France" on the Italian border — pastel old town, lemon groves and serene gardens like the Serre de la Madone.

How to do it

The three towns sit along the corniche roads; a private tour is the easiest way, with hotel pickup from Nice or Monaco and no parking to worry about.
