  • Day 2 St Paul de Vence. Get acquainted with Nice on a panoramic drive en route to historic St. Paul de Vence. Explore this walled medieval village, remarkably situated atop a hill overlooking the beautiful countryside.

Perhaps you will visit Place Massena, the town's centre of activity or find your favourite cafe for the week, and soak in the local life.
  • Day 3 Nice. Step into the shoes of a local and navigate the Tram this morning. Get familiar with the routes and use it to your advantage during some free time. With a local expert, discover Nice by meandering through the city's famed and colourful flower market. Then, delve into the Old Town, sampling local delicacies on a tasting tour. The rest of the day is yours. Perhaps you'll return to your hotel and stroll along the lively seafront Promenade des Anglais.
