Christmas on the Italian Riviera Drinks-Inclusive

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then to northern France for an overnight stay.

Continue through France and into Italy to reach the Italian Riviera for a five-night stay.

Today, we cross the border into France on our included excursion to visit St. Paul de Vence. This beautiful fortified medieval village has been, and still is today, home to some very famous painters. Wander around the cobblestone streets, admire the paintings, craft shops and boutiques, and soak up the atmosphere of a village that dates back to the 1500s.

We end the day in Cannes at its most famous thoroughfare, Boulevard de la Croisette, which is lined with hotels, boutiques and gardens on one side and fine beaches on the other.

Today, we cross the border to the French Riviera on our optional excursion to Eze and Nice. Our first stop is the medieval village of Eze, perched high above the Mediterranean.

This afternoon, we continue to Nice, set on the spectacular curve of the Mediterranean coast. Explore the backstreets of the historical Old Town or take in the sea air on the Promenade des Anglais. A special 4-course candlelight Ligurian dinner is included today.

Merry Christmas! Enjoy a leisurely day in resort to relax, explore and indulge. A traditional turkey lunch is included today with live music at the hotel this evening.

Why not join our optional excursion to the principality of Monaco, with its showpiece resort area of Monte Carlo? Nicknamed 'The Rock', this tiny capital is built against the mountains and sprawls down to the glittering shores of the Riviera. Take a stroll around the famous Formula 1 circuit, browse the sumptuous shops and boutiques, and marvel at the fabulous parks and gardens of this tiny paradise.

We head to our overnight hotel in northern France.
