A road-trip on its mythical routes for a visual fireworks display
There’s no better way to discover the Côte d’Azur than on one of its Corniche roads! Situated at altitudes of 100, 300 and 500 metres, all three offer exceptional panoramic views of the French Riviera between Nice and Italy: Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Cap Martin, Monaco, the Italian coast, the Mercantour peaks and even Corsica (when the weather’s really nice)! In fact, they’ve been the backdrop for many a film: Hitchcock’s La main au Collet, GoldenEye…
Are you a cyclist, motorcyclist or motorist who swings between the medium and large cornices? Take both!
And stop off along the way:
- Perched village of Eze: Church of the Assumption (Monument Historique), exotic garden, Chapelle des Pénitents Blancs, Nietzsche trail, panoramic view from Col d’Eze;
- La Turbie and its Tête de Chien lookout;
- Grande Corniche park;
- Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and its 2,000-year-old olive tree, the oldest tree in France!
