Your holiday starts at London St Pancras where you meet the Tour Manager before boarding the Eurostar service to Paris. There, we join the TGV service direct to the Côte d'Azur city of Nice, our base for five nights.
Nice is one of France's most popular and cosmopolitan holiday destinations, with pristine pebble beaches, a year-round Mediterranean climate, set on a beautiful sweeping bay on the spectacular French Riviera. Since the Middle Ages, Nice has been celebrated for its vibrant carnival, which lights up this enchanting coastal city each year during the two weeks leading up to Mardi Gras.
After checking in to our hotel, this evening is at leisure to explore the city. Our accommodation is a short distance from the famous Promenade des Anglais, and you could stroll along this wide historic seafront before dining independently. There are several restaurants to choose from around the hotel, or wander down to the city's charming old town which has many inviting eating places, from sidewalk cafés to cosy traditional restaurants.
