A chauffeured private tour of the great boulevards and monuments, then an exclusive guided experience at the Louvre, away from the crowds with its masterpieces.

Return to Paris for a flight south to Nice and your five-star Riviera retreat, settling in with the Mediterranean shimmering below.
A private day along the Cote d'Azur to the perched village of Eze, the principality of Monaco and Monte Carlo, at your own exclusive pace.
A private excursion to chic Saint-Tropez or a day on a private boat along the coast, with a long Mediterranean lunch and a seafront dinner tonight.
A final indulgent day — the spa, a Cannes stroll or simply your terrace and the sea, savouring the Riviera glamour.

Know when to go.
- Visa: Non-EU visitors generally need a Schengen visa, and many visa-exempt nationalities will need the EU's ETIAS travel authorisation. Your passport should be valid at least three months beyond your stay — we can point you in the right direction
- Language: French is the language, and a warm bonjour and merci go a long way. English is widely understood in hotels and tourist areas
- Currency: The currency is the euro. Cards are accepted almost everywhere; carry a little cash for markets, small cafes and tips
- Tipping: Service is included by law, so tipping is not expected. Rounding up or leaving small change for good service is a kind gesture
- Best seasons: France is wonderful year-round. Spring and early autumn are ideal for touring, summer is warm and lively, and Provence and the Riviera shine from May to September
- Etiquette: Dress a little smartly for dinner, and cover shoulders and knees inside churches. A greeting when entering shops is always appreciated
- Getting around: France's TGV high-speed trains connect cities beautifully, and some legs of your tour may travel by comfortable, scenic rail
- Meal times: Lunch runs roughly noon to 2pm and dinner from about 7:30pm. Many kitchens close between services, so we time meals to suit
- Museum closures: Many museums close one day a week — the Louvre on Tuesdays, Versailles on Mondays — and your itinerary is arranged around this
- Safety: France is safe, but as in any big city keep an eye on your belongings on the Paris metro and at busy attractions
