Product Info

Depart Nice for a 4-hour excursion in an ultra-comfortable 4x4 vehicle to discover the most spectacular and lesser-known landscapes of the French Riviera and the Alpes-Maritimes.

Your driver-guide will pick you up at your hotel or nearby, before heading towards the famous corniches overlooking the Mediterranean. Depending on the route and traffic conditions, you will take the Basse, Moyenne, or Grande Corniche in the direction of Eze and La Turbie, with superb panoramas of the coastline and the Principality of Monaco.

Then gradually leave the coast to gain altitude and reach the hinterland. Along a small picturesque road carved into the mountainside, you will pass by the Madone de Gorbio before reaching Sainte-Agnès, a magnificent medieval village perched more than 800 meters above sea level. Classified as one of the "Plus Beaux Villages de France" ("The Most Beautiful Villages of France"), it offers an exceptional panorama of the Mediterranean, the surrounding mountains, and, on a clear day, as far as the Italian border and Corsica.

The adventure then continues on dirt tracks and paths accessible only to 4x4 vehicles, to reach the wild area of the Braus pass. This is where the 4x4 really comes into its own: far from the main tourist routes, discover unspoiled mountain landscapes, several valleys, typical Mediterranean and alpine vegetation, and traces of the region's military history.

Depending on the season, and with a bit of luck, you may also spot local wildlife along the way.

After this immersion between the sea and the mountains, you will descend towards Nice via the Paillon Valley, passing through the village of L'Escarène.

This 4-hour excursion can be arranged in the morning, in the afternoon, or at the end of the day. Departing in the late afternoon is particularly pleasant, allowing you to enjoy the evening lights and, depending on the season and weather, admire the sunset over the hills of the French Riviera. Your live guide will take you back to the starting point at the end of the tour.
