FRENCH RIVIERA, FRANCE
EXPLORE THE BEAUTY OF THE COTE D'AZURE
What makes the French Riviera special...
This is not the French Riviera you've seen on Instagram. No super yachts, no scene, no obligation to be anywhere. It's the part of the coast that rewards the people who slow down. Meander the narrow lanes that wind toward the water, shop the market that actually sells food instead of souvenirs, the lunches that become dinners because nobody wanted to leave.
That's exactly why I chose it. Seven days. Long meals. The kind of evenings that start as dinner and end with someone saying "should we just get one more?"

AN AFTERNOON AMONG THE VINES
Begin the morning at an easy pace, letting the day unfold without urgency. After coffee and a relaxed breakfast, we’ll spend the afternoon exploring the wines of the French Riviera, visiting local producers and tasting bottles shaped by sea air, sun, and stone. It’s a day defined by flavor, conversation, and the simple pleasure of moving slowly through a beautiful place.

A SCENTED LEGACY
Set out for a full day of exploration through the hills above the Riviera. We’ll dive into the perfume heritage of Grasse, uncovering the craft and history behind one of France’s most storied industries, before continuing on to Gourdon, where sweeping views and medieval streets invite lingering. Along the way, we’ll explore local history through regional confections, discovering how flavor and tradition are woven into daily life here.

UNSCRIPTED MORNINGS & SHARED TABLES
The day is yours to shape. You might spend it curled up with a book by the pool, or head down to the coast to linger at a beach club, letting the day unfold at your own pace. We’ll regroup for dinner at the house coming together over shared dishes and conversation.

THREE COUNTRIES, ONE DAY
We’ll set out early for a full day of exploration with our trusted local guide, heading north along the coast. The day unfolds through the hilltop beauty of Èze, the elegance of Monaco, and across the border into Italy, each stop offering its own rhythm, history, and perspective. Three countries in a single day, experienced thoughtfully and without haste.

AN ARTISTIC HOME
We’ll head into the old town of Antibes for a morning spent exploring our inner artist, tracing Picasso’s time here and the creative energy that still lingers in its streets and studios. The day builds toward a final dinner designed to linger, rich in flavor, conversation, and shared memories, so come hungry and ready to savor every moment.

You’re going to love the French Riviera...
There’s a whole other side of this magical region that most people never take the time to discover. Together, we’ll explore the most beautiful regions in southern France, slowly unwinding its history and charm. We'll wander the old town, drive the coast, get the sea air in your hair, and a glass of delicious wine in your hand. By the end of the week the Riviera won't feel like something you saw. It'll feel like somewhere you actually lived for a little while.
