Private: Medieval Villages from Monaco or Monte Carlo
What your day looks like
Designed for both adults and families with children of all ages, this Medieval Villages full-day tour is a delightful introduction to some of the most charming villages of the Côte d’Azur, a perfect itinerary from Monaco or Monte Carlo. In the hinterland of the eastern Alpes Maritimes, minutes away from the royal grandeur of Monaco and the glamor of Monte Carlo, the region holds some of its best-kept secrets: authentic hilltop villages seemingly untouched by time. In the company of your driver-guide, spend the day discovering these hidden gems: the antique village of La Turbie, with its ancient Trophie dedicated to Emperor Augustus; the Medieval village of Peille, perched on a cliffside overlooking the River Peillon; the nearby village of Peillon, considered to be one of the most beautiful on the French Riviera; and Saint-Agnès, the highest coastal village in Europe, offering spectacular views across the countryside to the sea. If time allows, stop in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin; once part of the Principality of Monaco, the lovely village is crowned by the ruins of a Medieval fortress, one of the only surviving examples of Carolingian architecture in France.
