Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then to northern France for an overnight stay.
Continuing south to Italy, we arrive in Alassio this evening.
Today we cross the border into France. Once a small fishing village, Cannes is now a glamorous seaside town considered to be one of the best social hubs in Europe, as well as playing host to the annual film festival in May. Take time to check out the beauty and architecture of Le Suquet, with its cobbled streets and breath-taking views, or sit at street side tables and enjoy the favoured hobby of people watching up and down the lovely marina.
We will then continue on to Grasse, known as France’s perfume capital. Surrounded by beautiful blossom fields, Grasse is a stunning destination filled with lovely sights, such as Saracen Tower, the International Museum of Perfume and the Church of Plascassier.
We will explore Monte Carlo, situated in a prominent position at the base of the Maritime Alps. At the western end of the resort is the world-famous Place du Casino, the gambling centre which has made Monte Carlo the playground of the rich and famous. Enjoy the breathtaking vista of the fabulous marina with its impressive yachts as well as the palace of Monaco.
Discover the pretty village of Portofino, hidden away in a peaceful coastal inlet shielded by olive clad slopes. The view from the harbour is unforgettable and one could spend the entire day admiring it!
We will be able to explore a wide range of attractions while in Portofino, including enjoying views of Castello Brown and visiting the Church of St. Martin, the Church of St. George and the Santa Maria Assunta oratory.
Enjoy a day at leisure or join our optional trip to San Remo, a city on the Mediterranean coast of western Liguria in north-western Italy. Founded in Roman times, the city is best known as a tourist destination on the Italian Riviera, with its Russian church and colourful harbour.

It has its own microclimate, with it generally being milder than the rest of the French Riviera. Here, you will find pretty architecture and wonderful scenery.
