Romance on the Rivieras

Can you picture it? Matisse at his easel overlooking the blue Mediterranean as he paints plein-air. Grace Kelly and Cary Grant driving the spectacular Grand Corniche above Monaco in a powder blue convertible. Those same stars walking the red carpet at Cannes. The French and Italian Rivieras have lured visitors for generations with their delicious climate, gorgeous beaches, charming old hill towns and quaint fishing villages. But that's not all. Come experience the seductive quality of light that Monet called "so bright, so luminous" and see how it shines on medieval towers and boulangeries, on the traditional Provençal fishing boats bobbing in Sanary-sur-Mer's harbor, on Monte Carlo's famous casino. Explore even further on excursions to Nice and Eze, the perfumeries of Grasse or Aix en Provence, the spectacular cliffside villages of Cinque Terre, or even Pisa and Florence.
