The hilltop villages — private tour with a chauffeur

The hilltop villages

Èze, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Gourdon and Tourrettes-sur-Loup: the Riviera hinterland in a single day.

8 hÀ disposition
490 €From, per vehicle
140 kmApprox.

The hilltop villages sit twenty minutes from the coast and belong to another world. Stone lanes, ramparts, artisans' workshops, and viewpoints that reach Corsica on a clear day.

They share one drawback: all are pedestrian, with car parks far away and full in season. A chauffeur drops you at one end of the village and collects you at the other, so you never retrace your steps.

The day
step by step

Indicative programme, changeable at any time: the chauffeur is yours for the whole duration.

1

Èze village

A medieval village clinging 400 metres above the sea. Exotic garden at the summit, Fragonard perfumery.

2

Saint-Paul-de-Vence

Ramparts, art galleries, La Colombe d'Or and the cemetery where Marc Chagall is buried.

3

Tourrettes-sur-Loup

The village of violets. Weavers and ceramicists, and far fewer visitors than its neighbours.

4

Gourdon

An eagle's nest at 760 metres, with a view across the whole bay from Nice to the Esterel.

5

The Gorges du Loup

A cliff road, waterfalls and natural pools on the way back.

Making the most of it

Four villages in one day is a brisk pace. Many guests prefer to keep three and take time over lunch in Saint-Paul. Èze at the end of the day gives the finest light over the sea.

Season: all year round, at its best in spring and autumn.

What people ask
us most

Are these villages wheelchair accessible?▼

Partly. Saint-Paul has a main street that works; Èze and Gourdon are steep and cobbled. Tell us in advance and we adapt the programme and the drop-off points.

How long do we spend in each village?▼

Between one hour and ninety minutes, at your pace. The chauffeur waits — there is no timetable to keep.

Can we have lunch there?▼

Yes. We can book for you in Saint-Paul-de-Vence or Èze — mention it when booking, the good tables fill up quickly in season.

Does the tour work in winter?▼

Yes, and it is a fine time to go: the villages are quiet and the light is superb. Bring warm clothes, it is several degrees cooler than at sea level.
