From Nice to Menton
The peninsula of Saint Jean cap Ferrat, Cap d’Ail, and until Monaco, all these places are well-known for their beauty. The coast is marked out by rocks and coves and is often hard to reach it on foot.
Splendid villas with beautiful gardens are often on the shores of the sea which makes this place really amazing. You still could stop in the mythical harbour of the principality of Monaco and be among the splendid yachts. Your trip stops in France in Menton, last city before Italy.
