Nice to Saint-Tropez: Côte d'Azur & French Alps Foothills
Nothing is quite like the South of France. Nestled between clear blue skies and sparkling Mediterranean shores, it’s hard to ignore the allure. The glamour of the French Riviera. The sunsets on Saint-Tropez. Spend days looking at jaw-dropping vistas or meandering through picturesque villages. Spend evenings relaxing and dining by the sea. In the South of France, savor it all.
Highlights
- Embark on an active journey in the Côte d'Azur from Nice, France’s legendary vacation city
- Bike in the foothills of the southern French Alps and amid the emerald-hued Massif des Maures
- Hike through tiny coastal enclaves and past jaw-dropping vistas to must-see Mediterranean beaches
- Lounge by the sea à la Brigitte Bardot and sip pastis at sunset, all while enjoying French delicacies

Extraordinary Backroads adventure with phenomenal leaders!
This trip was magical. Our leaders, Joe, Leon, and Jeanne were exceptional: knowledgeable, fun, kind, caring, accommodating, and had an incredible chemistry together. This trip took us through beautiful towns and vistas, had premiere lodging, and the food was gourmet. The farm-to-table dinner was a highlight! The other guests were wonderful and we now consider them friends. This was our first Backroads and it is hard to imagine another trip could be as special, but we will absolutely do another one!
Best trip of our life
My husband and I spent the most wonderful 5 days of our lives. We had high expectations and they far surpassed them in everyway. We cannot imagine having any better trip leaders. We made friends we will have for a lifetime-all why seeing some of the most beautiful places we have ever travelled.
Extraordinary adventure - made easy!
I'm sure we had the best 3 leaders in all of Backroads! I felt like royalty and I was spoiled every day! I love that you can opt out, ask for more/less or something different. The leaders are experts on these trips and will move mountains to give you a great experience.
