Scenic Cap D'antibes & Nice

This excursion takes you on a wonderful scenic drive along the coastal road from Cannes to Nice. Drive past the luxurious hotels and elegant shops which border the famous Boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes. Beyond La Pointe de La Croisette, you’ll see the popular resort of Golf Juan and Cap d'Antibes, the most southerly tip of land. You’ll then reach the district of Villeneuve Loubet, famous as a summer resort and situated on the banks of the River Loup. Next, pass the fishing village of Cagnes sur Mer before reaching the capital and main attraction of the French Riviera, Nice. Continue the drive along the Promenade des Anglais, a splendid palm-lined boulevard stretching three miles along the Baie des Anges. Go by landmarks such as the legendary and imposing Hotel Negresco with its Rococo facade, the Russian Orthodox cathedral built with pink bricks, light gray marble and vividly colored ceramics beneath six onion domes which give an exotic touch to the Nice scene. Your drive continues past the Regina Hotel to Cimiez Hill, a sophisticated part of Nice with many large villas. You’ll also pass the Franciscan Monastery, gardens and Roman arenas, before joining the highway for your return to Cannes.
