Visit Monaco, Monte Carlo, & Medieval Eze, Nice

In the morning, make your way to Monaco, a 12-mile (20 km) drive from Nice, for a guided tour. Monaco is one of the world's smallest countries and is considered a city-state.

Visit the famous Monte Carlo district with its legendary casino, see Prince Rainier's car collection, and continue to the Rock of Monaco (Rocher de Monaco). This is the location of the town's oldest neighborhood, the medieval Old Town. From here, the views of the sunny coast are unparalleled. Learn about this community's history and anecdotes about the dynasty which has reigned there for decades. 

From here, continue to the medieval village of Eze, perched high above the Mediterranean Sea. Thanks to its location and history, it's a popular destination with painters and artists. Next, explore the famous Chapelle Sainte-Croix and the ruins of the ancient castle, which allude to the city's strategic location on the coast. Finally, stroll through the town's peaceful gardens and soak in the sunshine.
