Highlights of the French Riviera

A Journey Through Riviera Icons Explore glamorous Monte Carlo and picturesque Menton, and visit the iconic Monaco Rock during a full-day excursion. Begin your day with a scenic drive by motor coach along the Lower Corniche, enjoying the views of the Mediterranean Sea en route to Monte Carlo. Upon arrival, set out on foot with your guide to discover this elegant locale. You will have free time to explore more at your own pace, perhaps at Casino Square, where you can pass by the Monte Carlo Opera House and the famed casino which gave the square its name. Next, head to Menton, also known as the “Pearl of France.” See its Belle Époque architecture and pastel facades during a guided walk through its old town. After a lunch of local fare, continue to Monaco Rock, the historic heart of the Principality and home to the Prince’s Palace. Stroll its narrow streets with your guide, then return to your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
