This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate.
Shore excursion from Villefranche for a group of up to 8 people.
During this 6-hour trip you will discover Eze, true Eagles Nest, perched medieval village where we will stop for a visit of the Fragonard perfumery. In Monaco you will get some free time to see the Palace and visit the Cathedral where Princesse Grace is buried.
