This private tour in a vintage Méhari lets you discover a little-known and fascinating side of Nice: the aristocratic hills that welcomed the European elite in the 19th century. From our base in Carlone, your driver will take you to the heights of Mont Boron, where you'll enjoy a spectacular first view of the port of Nice and the Baie des Anges. The route continues to Cimiez, the former winter district of the nobility, where you'll find the Belle Époque palaces, the famous Régina, and the Roman gardens lined with olive trees. Far from the crowded beaches, you'll cross elegant residential avenues, lined with historic villas, mansions, and remarkable buildings.

Another way to understand Nice, between heritage, architecture, and spectacular panoramas. A chic, peaceful, and exclusive tour, perfect for travelers seeking authenticity.Includes
