Glamorous Cannes embodies the Mediterranean resort lifestyle, first discovered by affluent English nobles seeking refuge from their chilly, dimly lit castles during Britain’s bleak winters. Its luxurious allure has drawn both the elite and the infamous for generations. Celebrities gather yearly at the grand Palais des Festivals to celebrate the renowned Cannes Film Festival.
Napoleon famously claimed he could recognize his homeland blindfolded by the fragrant scent of the maquis. When arriving by sea, this aromatic essence is the first thing that greets you. The second is Corsica’s rugged, mountainous terrain. Nearby, hidden beaches and the mysterious Grottes des Veaux Marins provide exceptional diving opportunities.
Monaco is the fabled domain of princes and movie stars. The magnificent Palais du Prince and opulent casinos remind you of an elegant, pre-war era. With more wealth concentrated in one small area than almost any place on earth, this tiny principality retains its gilt-edged allure.
It is said that the most spectacular way to approach the exquisite harbor of St. Tropez is by sea. This charming destination is a haven for people-watching, offering an array of iconic beaches, delightful bistros, and vibrant bars to explore. The appropriately named Tahiti Plage is where topless sun tanning started, and whether you prefer to take it off or take it all in, there's always plenty to see in St. Tropez.
Glittering Cannes is the archetypal Mediterranean resort city discovered by wealthy English nobles who came to the sunny south of France to escape their drafty old castles during the dreary British winters. Cannes’ high-flying lifestyle has attracted notables and has been notorious ever since. The stars flock to celebrate the Cannes Film Festival at the colossal Palais des Festivals every year.

Portofino is a fishing village on the Italian Riveria coastline. Its pastel-colored houses, luxury boutiques, and seafood restaurants surround its Piazzetta, a small cobbled square overlooking the harbor lined with super-yachts. A short walk takes you to the Church of St. George, a church with a cool, plain interior dramatically situated on the narrow neck of the Portofino headland. As a lookout point and a site of religious significance, the spot goes back thousands of years.
It was in the Villa Magni near Lerici that Percy Bysshe Shelley spent his last happy days before sailing his small boat on its stormy fatal voyage on July 8, 1822. Lord Byron, another Lerici literary resident, once swam across what is now called the “Golfo dei Poeti.” The small fishing villages of San Terenzo, Tellaro Fiascherino, and Montemarcello are similar to the more famous Cinque Terre.
From his villa in Portoferraio, Napoleon, the exiled Emperor of France, looked out over the waiting ships in the harbor and dreamed of returning to glory. Enjoy a local vineyard tour, and near Portoferraio, discover the remains of an ancient Etruscan civilization.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
