What to see between Nice and Monaco?
June 7, 2017The distance between the city of Nice and the small country Monaco, They are only 20Km, but it is an area with lots to do, the seats are drives to make a quick stop, or even staying in small towns.
Here we will tell you a little about what you can do, to know the 3 roads connecting these cities, the first road goes bordering the sea and is called Basse Corniche, in outra é Moyenne Corniche, which is higher up in the middle of the mountain, and lastly is the Grande Corniche which is on top of the mountain.
Pela Basse Corniche, that goes bordering the sea, the stops we made were: in the city of Villefranche, a charming super town with a beautiful castle walled city near the city harbor, Citadelle Saint-Elme, but the most beautiful city is the beach marinière, which is a paradise of crystal blue water and white sand.
Another stop on this road was in the city of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a very tiny town which is also a peninsula, there are attractions: Beach Paloma Beach, the Chapel of Saint-Hospice, but what makes this city a must have is the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, a palace with a spectacular garden of the early twentieth century, the Palace is Provençal style is too beautiful and even has a restaurant, very worth the stop.
Coming or going by Moyenne Corniche, one also obligatory stop is in the small medieval town of Éze, very well preserved with streets, squares, churches, gardens and hotels in medieval style, otherwise it has an impressive panoramic view of the coast connecting the cities, a beautiful place to see the sunrise or sunsets, dining or just drinking something at one of the restaurants or bars in town, we indicate the Chateau Eza, which is also a beautiful hotel, It is not very cheap, but definitely worth the price.
Last road Grande Corniche, that was once the road connecting this region to ancient Rome, Call Via Aurelia, the highlight of the tour is the village of La Turbie, there is also a lookout on the road where you can see the city of Éze from another angle, but that was the only one not passed.
Visit Nice and Monaco It was an amazing experience.
