Discover the villages of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Tourrettes and Gourdon on a day trip from Nice. Tour with a private guide! First stop is the medieval town of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Stroll through the old town, learning about its artistic heritage. Continue through the hills of Provence to visit the centuries-old village of Tourrettes, a short stop at the Florian factory (sweet tasting), then visit the town of Gourdon, where crystals are made, and admire the views stretching to the sea. Your guide will show you the most picturesque places of the French Riviera, and since the tour is private, we will tailor the itinerary to your personal wishes.

The tour can start at a time convenient for you, but we recommend starting at 9 am

English Embankment

We will leave Nice along the central street of Nice – the Promenade des Anglais and continue our way to the artists’ village hidden in the hills – Saint-Paul-de-Vence.

Saint-Paul de Vence.

This medieval city, surrounded by ramparts from the 14th century, was once called the Royal City. More than 100 years ago, it became a real Mecca for artists – young painters, sculptors and contemporary designers. The trend began when Picasso, Chagall or Matisse, among many others, came here for inspiration – you can easily understand “why?”. Today, the situation is no different – many still unknown artists find their home here, and you will not believe your eyes when you see what a combination it gives: medieval narrow streets with galleries, ateliers, shop windows full of contemporary art. If you are interested in this trend, there is something else: the world’s largest collection of contemporary art, also located in Saint-Paul, in the esteemed museum of the Maeght Foundation.

Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild

Our next stop is the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. It is located in a very picturesque place on Cap Ferrat. This Italian style palace was built in 1905 by Beatrice Ephrussi de Rothschild. With your guide and an excellent audio guide, you will visit this villa and appreciate the rare collection of almost 5,000 works of art (mosaics, Flemish tapestries, porcelain and furniture). The villa is surrounded by luxurious gardens with a breathtaking view of Villefranche on one side and Beaulieu on the other. You will have free time during which you can stroll through the magnificent gardens surrounding the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and covering an area of 7 hectares.

Greek Villa Kerylos

Your guide will then take you to the Greek Villa Kerylos. You will visit an exact replica of an ancient Greek house, which was built in 1902 on a site resembling the Aegean coast. The construction was carried out by the archaeologist Theodor Reinach, who was very closely involved in the study of ancient Greek culture. You will be able to see the original exhibits along with copies and reproductions of furniture, frescoes, and in the Antique Gallery, built under the villa, you can admire copies of classical Greek statues.
