About this tour

What to expect
Your guide collects you from your accommodation and drives you through the Côte d'Azur's quieter western reaches. Expect to spend 1–2 hours in each village, wandering cobbled streets, peering into local galleries and craft studios, and stopping for photos at viewpoints. The Loup valley shows the region's agricultural side—terraced slopes and small producers. Traffic around Antibes can slow the morning leg. Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the final stop, fills with day-trippers by late afternoon, so your guide may adjust timing. Bring comfortable walking shoes; village streets are steep and uneven.
Good to know
Meals aren't included—eat in village cafés or bring a picnic. Bottled water, charging cables, and WiFi are provided. Tours are flexible; let your guide know if you want more time in any location or prefer to skip others. The route suits all fitness levels, though village exploration involves some uphill walking.
