ITINERARY

Your Mediterranean journey begins in Menton, the radiant “lemon capital,” where Italian elegance blends effortlessly with French refinement. Terraced gardens such as Fontana Rossa, the Jardin des Romanciers, and the fragrant Citrus Garden reveal vibrant colors, sculpted paths, and serene viewpoints that reflect the gentle rhythm of this sunlit town overlooking the sea.

Next comes San Remo, the celebrated flower capital of the Italian Riviera. Passing through the medieval gate of La Pigna, narrow spiraling alleys lead to intimate squares like Piazza dei Dolori, where the town’s history is etched into every stone. Continuing upward, you reach the Regina Elena Gardens, which open onto sweeping panoramas of the coastline, hills, and historic rooftops glowing under the Mediterranean light.

On the return, Roquebrune emerges as one of the Riviera’s memorable wayback highlights. This medieval village, poised above the water, offers stone archways, vaulted passages, and winding lanes leading toward the imposing 10th-century fortress, the oldest surviving keep in France, where echoes of centuries linger in the silence.

The journey concludes in Villefranche-Sur-Mer, a harbor glowing with warm, colorful façades and gentle maritime charm. Its lively quays, twisting streets, and the enigmatic Rue Obscure create an atmosphere rich with history. The Chapelle St-Pierre, restored by Jean Cocteau, adds an artistic touch, while the tranquil curve of the bay forms a graceful and timeless finale.
