Geneva to Monte Carlo Driving Tour - 5 Days

Scenic Driving Tour to the South of France 

A four-night trip, that takes you on a 3-day driving tour starting in the North of Europe by the majestic Swiss Alps, and ending in the sunny Cote d'Azur, by the sea in the South. 

The tour starts with a run through the Rhone-Alps to the gourmet region of Valence.  You then continue south, along the Rhone Valley, and into Provence, crossing Mount Ventoux, into the Luberon region.  After an evening in the heart of Luberon, the journey continues southeast, through the heart of the National Park Verdon / Gorge Verdon, along Route Napoleon, then down to the jet-set resort of Monte Carlo, on the sunny Cote d'Azur

Please note, after the journey, the car will then be collected and returned to Switzerland at the end of the drive, so all prices do include the cost to ship the car (when comparing to the prices of other similar 4 night tours starting in Swiss)

NOTE: Compared to other tours, this package is slightly more premium-priced due to the fact the cars need to be collected from Monte Carlo at the end of the tour and then shipped back to Geneva
