Walk on the famous Croisette in Cannes

Arrive in Cannes and walk the famous Croisette Boulevard, by the Film Festival Palace, designer shops and smart sandy beaches. Embellished by Palm trees and fine sandy beaches, famous cafés, elegant shops and deluxe hotels have made Cannes one of the most famous cities of the French Riviera. Of course, the film festival is of world reputation so you will have the opportunity to see where it all takes place towards the Conference center. For the most, your time here will be spent discovering the town and enjoying great shopping possibilities.

Then, visit the charming small town of Antibes

Enjoy a drive through the countryside as we move on to visit Antibes, an enjoyable old town of the French Riviera, that houses one of the most famous Picasso collection. The town’s port is located below its fortifications, with luxurious yachts and brightly painted fishing boats. In the 1500s, Antibes’ Fort Carré, which now dominates the port, was the last French stronghold before the Italian border.

Antibes has plenty of little streets to explore and you will certainly marvel as you admire the world’s biggest private yachts in Port Vauban and the largest marina on the French Mediterranean Sea the area being coined Billionaires Quay. Follow your tour guide on a walking tour and enjoy some free time for personal discovery.

Finally, visit Juan Les Pins

Located on the other side of Cap d'Antibes peninsula, this more recently developed resort has been a popular destination since the early 20th century when it hosted such celebrities as Ernest Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, Picasso or Charlie Chaplin. The development of the resort was mostly due to Frank-Jay Gould (son of financier Jay Gould) who invested in Hotels (Le Provençal) or Casino (Juan Les Pins).

After the visit, it will be time to return to your Port of Call in Villefranche sur Mer.

Francesco was an outstanding guide for the Gems of Alsace tour. Although he is on the younger side, he brought a remarkably deep knowledge of the region, its history, villages, wines, and culture. He answered every question thoughtfully and added context that made each stop far more meaningful. He was also super personable, outgoing, and easy to talk with throughout the day. He struck a great balance between sharing information and giving us time to explore on our own. He kept the group organized without ever making the day feel rushed or overly structured. The villages, wine route, and Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle were all wonderful, but Francesco truly elevated the experience. He clearly takes pride in showing visitors the best of Alsace. We would happily recommend this tour—and especially Francesco—to anyone visiting the region.

We had an exceptional tour with Valentine, who was so energetic and generous in sharing his knowledge on wines. We will never read wine labels the same anymore! Thank you Valentine! The tour could be more comfortable if there was a bigger car as 2 of my friends had to sit at the front and the middle seat would not be possible for a bigger person. Also the choice of wineyard could be better although "better" is subjective - the our group of 5 would rate our last stop the poorest although the other 3pax in our tour might thought otherwise!

Our guide to Saint-Emilion was perfect. He was very knowledgeable of wines and the three chateaux that we visited. Also being picked up at the tourism office was very convenient.
