Day 2: Nice Carnival
After a hearty breakfast, you set off for Nice, enjoying one of the most beautiful coastal routes in Europe with breathtaking views of picturesque bays. On arrival in Nice, the city awaits with its characteristically colourful house façades, its famous flower market and numerous charming cafés, restaurants and boutiques. Use the free time to stroll at leisure through the old town and along the promenade and soak up the city's flair. The famous "Promenade des Anglais", which is also home to the renowned casino, is the heart of the annual carnival, whose roots go back to 1294. Look forward to the colourful flower parade, where floats decorated with flowers, imaginatively costumed people and impressive figures sweep you away into a dreamlike world. To give you the perfect view of the spectacle, we have reserved grandstand seats for you. After the flower parade, you return to the hotel.
Day 3: Menton Lemon Festival
Today our coach takes you to Menton – sheltered by the Maritime Alps in the background, the little town enjoys the mildest climate on the Côte d’Azur. This mild climate has given rise to the many beautiful gardens in which numerous orange and lemon trees grow. See for yourself when you visit the renowned Bioves Gardens. In this park in the middle of the old town, fantastic replicas and mosaics made of lemons and oranges await you. Afterwards, you will attend the Lemon Festival. The "Fête du Citron" in Menton is a one-of-a-kind event worldwide and, after the carnival and the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco, the most important event on the Côte d'Azur. For three weeks, citrus fruits are celebrated extensively with events, parades and shows – and a full 145 tonnes of real fruit are arranged into elaborate sculptures, which can reach heights of up to 10 metres.
