Celebrate Easter weekend in Villefranche-sur-Mer with a blend of medieval charm and coastal glamour. From exploring the historic village of Eze to a sunset boat tour with dolphin sightings, this chic getaway promises unforgettable experiences under the Mediterranean sun.

Embrace the Medieval Charm and Glamour

As the Easter weekend unfolds in the picturesque Villefranche-sur-Mer, the allure of the medieval village of Eze and the glamour of Monte Carlo beckon. On April 5th and 6th, from 2 PM to 11 PM, immerse yourself in a journey that seamlessly blends history with opulence. Begin your escapade with a visit to Eze, where the cobblestone streets and ancient architecture transport you back in time. The breathtaking views from the summit are a testament to the village’s timeless beauty. As you wander through the charming streets, consider a visit to the Fragonard perfumery, where the secrets of fragrance creation unfold before you.

The journey continues to Monaco, where the old town offers a glimpse into the regal life of the principality. The Oceanographic Museum and the cathedral, where Prince Rainier and Princess Grace Kelly were married, are must-see landmarks. As night falls, Monte Carlo transforms into a playground of lights and luxury. The Casino Square, with its opulent Hotel de Paris and high-end boutiques, invites you to indulge in the glamour of the night. Take a chance at the casino or savor a delightful dinner at one of the exquisite restaurants. The experience is nothing short of magical, as echoed by a recent review:

“Great evening in seaside gems - Excellent evening tour from Nice, done at our pace with nourishing and ample time. Stephan was a great guide and help, knowledgeable and professional. It was a rainy day, but we were able to make the most of it. Visit to the town of Eze was exceptional. Entire view all the way to Monaco and Monte Carlo were great, and so was walking around those cities. Dinner at a restaurant suggested by Stephan was lovely. All of us - 6 in the group enjoyed this private tour and worth the cost! Would recommend highly.” (Reviewed on 2024-10-20)
