Excursion à la campagne au départ de Nice : Grasse, Saint Paul de Vence et plus encore

Discover the hidden gems of the French Riviera hinterland on a full-day small-group tour from Nice.

This itinerary takes you through a series of picturesque medieval villages and breathtaking natural landscapes — from the hills of Grasse to the perched village of Gourdon and the artisan charm of Tourrettes-sur-Loup.

Start your day in Grasse, the historic world capital of perfume, where you’ll explore the old town and visit the iconic Fragonard perfumery on a free guided tour. Then climb into the hills to reach Gourdon, a postcard-perfect village with panoramic views stretching from the Alps to the sea.

Along the way, stop at the impressive Gorges du Loup waterfall before continuing to Tourrettes-sur-Loup, known as the “City of Violets” and home to many local artisans.

End your journey in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, one of the most visited villages in France — a true haven for artists, painters, and history lovers alike.

From Provençal markets to cobbled streets and panoramic views, this countryside tour is ideal for those looking to discover the Riviera’s quieter side.
