— Tour Description —
En route to Monaco, we make a first stop to discover the medieval village of Eze, which is one of the most picturesque sites of the French Riviera. Dating from the Middle Ages, the village was built on top of the rocky outcrop for security reasons. The walls of the twelfth century was dismantled in 1706 by order of Louis XIV. Taking the cobbled streets and reach the top where you can find the exotic garden and the castle ruins this day, the view is amazing. We then visit the famous Fragonard perfume factory down to the village.
Go through the village of La Turbie, also called the "Monaco terrace" because of the panoramic view of the Principality of Monaco. Admire the ruins of an imposing monument: the Trophy of the Alps, dedicated to the Emperor Augustus, which was built 7 BC on the road that linked Italy to Cimiez (the Roman Quarter Nice) longtime ago.
You will then reach the Principality of Monaco. The old town on "Le Rocher" (the rock) overlooking the sea and harbor, where you will discover :
