French Riviera Customized Tours

From $900

Henri Matisse once said, “The French Riviera is a haven of inspiration, where artists and dreamers find their muse in the azure waters and sun-kissed landscapes.”

Let’s transform that dream into reality and craft a truly unique experience just for you. The Riviera can be explored quickly, overwhelming your senses, or savored slowly, allowing your soul to rest in its timeless beauty.
Your tour can combine history, art, local food and wine tastings, breathtaking vistas, and Provençal charm—or perhaps a more leisurely pace, spent lounging in hidden coves or private beach clubs, enjoying golf or kayaking, cruising by boat, or even soaring high in a hot air balloon. We will share our insights into how the South of France became a glamorous destination, attracting European nobility and avant-garde artists like Picasso, Matisse, and Renoir. You will also explore French and Provençal culture, the evolution of modern France, and the renowned French “art of living.” It will be a truly unforgettable experience!
