This experience appeals to all senses! Anyone who wants to complement the fun of driving with luxury and a Mediterranean attitude to life during the magnificent lavender blossom will be thrilled by this journey: Each drive is accompanied by culinary highlights and extraordinary experiences that will leave a lasting impression.
First, we will guide you along the picturesque Lac de Saint Cassien to the small town of Grasse, where an experienced perfumer will take us into the world of fragrances. Afterwards, you will literally follow in the footsteps of Napoléon before experiencing THE route of the Côte d'Azur: the Corniche d'Or. The view of the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains of the Esterel Massif over 244 kilometres in total will get you in the perfect mood to marvel at the South of France from the air the next day.
On day 2, enjoy a helicopter ride over the impressive landscape before continuing with another unique driving experience. Our route starts via the Route de Castellane with a breathtaking view into one of the deepest canyons in Europe: the Gorges du Verdon. After this experience, you will head home over the passes Col d'Ayen with its gentle curves and Col de Luens through the impressive Verdon National Park. If you still haven't had enough of the Southern French surroundings, you can extend the 250-kilometre route with a detour to Lac de Castillon, before we meet up at the hotel for a wine tasting and regional delicacies.
You will experience our driving highlight on the legendary final leg of the Rally Monte-Carlo on the next day. The approximately 400-kilometre route will take you over the Col de Clavel deep into the mountains, where you enter the rally route in Puget-Théniers. Following countless metres in altitude and passes, you will reach the highlight of this stretch and probably the most famous pass in the Maritime Alps, the Col de Turini. Via Monte-Carlo and along the Côte d'Azur we you return to the hotel and later in the evening take a shuttle to St. Tropez, where we end the trip with a luxurious dinner.
For drivers who appreciate pleasure and laissez-faire, this trip is an absolute must!
