With cobblestone lanes and chic art galleries, it’s easy to see why the town is so popular. You’ll have about an hour to explore this former haunt of the Impressionist painters. You’ll be driven in comfort in a minivan limited to just eight passengers, ensuring you receive personalized attention from your English-speaking guide on this small-group tour.
Your day trip continues to Tourrettes/Loup for a photo stop before visiting the charming Loup Gorges. The views of the Alps, valleys and Mediterranean coastline from the perched medieval village of Gourdon are stunning. You will spend an hour here, with time to eat lunch (not included) and sample the traditional floral-scented candy at the Florian confectionery, a French Riviera specialty.
Then it’s on to Grasse, world capital of the perfume industry where you’ll have a guided tour of a perfumery. You'll have approximately 45 minutes of free time here to explore or visit the old town.
Your last stop will be a 45-minute tour of Cannes. See the old port, famous La Croisette Boulevard, the Cannes Film Festival Palace, glamorous designer shops and wide, sandy beaches.
