Day 01

Menton, Dolceaqua and Eze Discovery

We will leave Nice at 09:00 and spend some time in Menton, walking around the old town and discovering the incredible views from the 19th-century cemetery, the basilica, and the covered market. You can also browse the cute shops, enjoy an olive oil tasting if you like, or simply stop for a coffee, depending on what you would prefer to do.
Then, it will be a 40-minute drive to Dolceaqua, where we will enjoy an Italian lunch and walk through the village.
After that, it will take us close to an hour to get to Eze. Eze is pedestrian-only and known for being quite steep, so you need to wear comfortable shoes and be able to walk in order to enjoy it.
We will return to your hotel by 5 pm to conclude the tour.
