Itinerary

Day 1

A Sun-Soaked Day in Antibes

Antibes

Antibes is one of the most underrated destinations on the French Riviera. If you want the same turquoise waters as Cannes or Nice but with far fewer crowds, Antibes is the perfect place. The town is surrounded by ancient ramparts overlooking the Mediterranean, while the old town buzzes with Provençal markets, cafés, and local artisans. Think sun, sea breeze, and the gentle rhythm of the Côte d’Azur.

Day 2

From the Seaside to the Countryside

Grasse

Leaving the Riviera coast behind, today takes you into the softer, quieter landscapes of Provence. The air changes here — scented with jasmine, roses, and warm herbs growing on the hillsides. The villages around Grasse feel suspended in time, where stone houses glow in the sun and narrow streets wind between small cafés and flower-filled squares. This is the birthplace of French perfume, where nature, craftsmanship, and centuries of tradition come together. Expect a day of slow discoveries, fragrant gardens, and the peaceful charm of the countryside.
