Full-Day Private Tour of Provence Towns and Medieval Villages
Highlights
-
Get picked up at your hotel or other accommodation in Nice by your private driver. Climb into a comfortable private vehicle and travel first into the hills to arrive in Grasse. Visit the Fragonard Perfume Factory in Grasse to learn the science and art of making perfume. Browse in the shop to pick out the perfect fragrance (own expense). Continue to Gourdon, which overlooks the River Loup from the Caussols Plateau 2,300 feet (700 meters) above. See the town's 12th-century castle. Take advantage of some leisure time to walk through the historic streets, browsing artist workshops and boutiques along the way. Next, visit the town of Pont du Loup to sample chocolates at a chocolate factory (own expense) before heading into Tourettes-sur-Loup. This town was already well-known for weaving in the Medieval era, and it's still an important center for this traditional craft. Walk through the heart of the town with your guide to see weavers and their handiwork, including reproductions of historic Provençal cloth to more modern textiles. Travel on to St-Paul de Vence, a charming Medieval town tucked into the hills and valleys of Provence. Stroll through the historic heart of the village learning about its past, including how many famous artists have called it home over the years – including Marc Chagall. At the conclusion of the tour, return to your hotel in Nice.
