This privately guided tour featuring the fine
art of the French Riviera begins with a sightseeing
drive along the coast to Villefranche Bay and
Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, known as the Beverly
Hills of France.
You will visit the decadent Villa Ephrussi
de Rothschild, featuring the prized art collection
amassed by the Baroness Ephrussi. You will
enjoy its nine magnificent gardens, adorned
with patios, fountains, ponds, and flowered
and shaded paths, and the panoramic seaside
views from here.
Next your private tour will drive to Nice,
stopping at Cimiez Hill, which was the winter
home of Queen Victoria. You will visit the
nearby Matisse Museum (45-minute visit), located
in a 17th century Italian house. Here you will
view Matisse’s personal collection. Matisse
lived in Nice for nearly 40 years; the paintings,
drawings and engravings housed here represent
the breadth of his work.
You will also have a 45-minute visit to the
Chagall Museum, which was opened by the artist
himself in 1973. The permanent and temporary
exhibitions here are wide-ranging, including
sculptures, stained glass windows, mosaics,
tapestries, sketches, engravings, and lithographs.
