City & village
Nice & Eze
Baie des Anges boulevards and Eze's stone lanes — the west Riviera's best pairing from Cannes.
Nice and Eze deliver two distinct Riviera experiences — seaside urbanity and medieval altitude — without the longer eastward haul to Monaco. From Cannes, Nice is closer than Monte Carlo, leaving more time for Cours Saleya, Old Town and Eze's Jardin Exotique.
This excursion sequences Nice in the morning when markets bustle, then ascends to Eze for afternoon light on the village walls. It is the excursion we suggest when passengers ask for Eze but are unsure about Monaco's casino-and-yacht focus.
