The beautiful road to Monte Carlo
The Cote d’Azur is eternal. Its history is much older
than its name coined so successfully in 1887!
We’ll be following the coast road in order to visit
these magnificent places where civilization has
been evoluating in so many different ways.
Eze, the most picturesque “eagle’s nest” of the
Riviera built on the top of an amazing rock.
Its wonderful residences as the “Chateau Eza”
and the “Chateau de la Chèvre d’Or” and beautiful
gardens. We’ll visit the numerous and famous art
galleries, some of the workshops looking like small
caves.
You’ll learn the secret stages of elaboration of perfumes
in the most amazing local perfume distillery, whose name
sounds so familiar to the most well known fragrances
in the world (Chanel, Dior…)
Villefranche-sur-Mer is a city shining along its wonderful
bay; here the multi-millionaires use to meet all year round!
You’ll discover the small “Saint Pierre” Chapel especially
decorated by Cocteau for his friends who were fishermen.
The Principality and Rock of Monaco.
The Prince’s palace in Monaco occupying a unique location
on the “Rock”, the Palace was built on the site of a fortress
built in 1215. Your visit will be a marvellous journey

The State Apartments are open to the public.
The Place du Palais, with its cannons cast at the time of
Louis XIV, offers a unique panoramic view of the Port.
