Overview

Discover the Cote d’Azure from Menton to Nice and bring your senses alive with its colourful pastel mansions, the sweet scent of citrus trees as you walk through the towns and trails and the taste of delicious French cuisine as you feast on freshly caught seafood. This one week self-guided walking holiday has been specially designed to showcase the contrasting landscapes and cultures of this spectacular region of Southern France. Your routes will take you to beautiful mountain villages of Sainte Agnes; to the playground of the rich and famous, Monaco before retreating to the peace of the hills above and to the magnificent headland of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, finishing your week in the bustling city of Nice.
 

You will spend your week in varied accommodation. At the start and end of your week you will be in 2* and 3* hotels on a bed and breakfast basis, whilst in the middle of your trip you will stay in a mountain side auberge, serving traditional fare, including bed, breakfast and evening meal.

If you’re looking to experience the great juxtaposition between the wild, mountainous landscape of the Maritime Alps, and the fast paced and glamorous life of the Cote d’Azur, then this is the holiday for you. To fully appreciate this contrast, we’ve devised a break that stays in a mix of 2* and 3* hotels whilst on the coast, and a traditional mountain side auberge for your days spent in the hills. You should be comfortable walking up to five hours a day on undulating trails, including ascents of up to 1000m in a day. For your efforts, you’ll be rewarded with some of the finest views of this region, including the panoramic summit of Mount Baudon. White and terracotta villages perched on hillsides among the pine forests, lemon and olive groves, make for a pleasing palate of colours and textures in this lush green corner of the south of France.

 

Why KE?

This trip to the French Riviera is a real taste of the high life. KE is unique because as well as taking in the glitz and glamour of Menton, Monaco and Nice, we also walk inland and to the top of Mount Baudon some 1,200m above sea level, to experience a completely different side to this famous stretch of coastline. The accommodation here is a totally authentic French auberge, a world away from the casinos and supercars of the coastline below.
