After a touchdown in Nice, and the first evening in the seaside resort of Cannes at the recently renovated and re-opened 5-Star Martinez Hotel, set directly on the famous Croisette, seaside promenade. After an evening in Cannes, your car will be delivered the next morning, and then you will head into the Alps Maritimes, on a romantic drive west and into the heart of Provence and the Luberon region, via the spectacular Parc Verdon and Gorge Verdon.  Once in Provence you will journey around the stunning Luberon Valley, visit exclusive vineyards and hilltop medieval villages, as well as visit the famous lavender fields.  You will also have the opportunity to drive one of the most mountain roads in Europe, Mount Ventoux, famous as one of the most challenging stages of the Tour de France bike race. 

The tour is then completed with a run back to the coast through the Alps Maritimes, driving the sweeping Route Napoleon all the way to the coast, and then along the coast to the jet-set resort of Monte Carlo, where you will spend your final evening. If you truly want to immerse yourself in romance, this break is perfect for you.
