We had the most fantastic day of traveling from Nice to all these beautiful villages and towns in French Riviera with our host Nicolas. Our favorites are the guided tour to the perfumery of Fargonard where we got to make our own perfume, the small hike to the village of Èze, touring around Monaco and the afternoon stroll through the beautiful medieval village of St. Paul de Vence. The trip was very well organized and Nicolas was a fun company with his tremendous knowledge in history and art. And his sense of humor was the cherry on top.

Un circuit foarte bun, care cuprinde toate punctele de interes de pe riviera franceză. Foarte bine organizat, cu ghidul Roman de nota 10. Recomand tuturor celor care în timp scurt vor sa viziteze cat mai mult!
