If you want to see the best of the French Riviera, use your time in the port of Cannes wisely. A private day trip in a comfortable minivan to see both historic Eze and glitzy Monaco in one day combines two sides of the gorgeous South of France.
Depart Cannes and admire the stunning views as you travel along the coastal road toward Eze. This Medieval village is the home of famous perfumery Fragonard, where you’ll have a guided tour to learn the complexities of creating perfumes.
Next, head for the city-state of Monaco. Visit the Old Town and the Grand Casino and take a spin on the Formula One Grand Prix race car circuit. Enjoy some free time to visit the Royal Palace (open only April to October), do some shopping in the trendy boutiques or simply sit at a sidewalk cafe to engage in some of the best people-watching you’ll ever see.
At the conclusion of your time in Monaco, head back to Cannes and your cruise ship.
