Highlights

Cannes
Cannes, a resort town on the French Riviera, is famed for its international film festival. Its Boulevard de la Croisette, curving along the coast, is lined with sandy beaches, upmarket boutiques and palatial hotels. It’s also home to the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, a modern building complete with red carpet and Allée des Étoiles – Cannes’ walk of fame.
Cathédrale Orthodoxe Russe Saint-Nicolas
Built in 1912 by Tsar Nicholas, the Cathédrale Orthodoxe Russe Saint-Nicolas is considered one of the most beautiful Orthodox churches outside of Russia. Inspired by the Muscovite style, the cathedral has a richly decorated interior with many ornamental icons, murals, and carved woodwork, as well as an iconostasis of embossed metal. A virtual jewel box, the interior contains historical and religious objects that were brought here from Russia during its time of turmoil. The cathedral is still used as place of worship. Visitors are admitted but must respect certain rules: Men will not be admitted bare-chested or in shorts. For women, mini skirts and shorts are not allowed, shoulders should be covered, and a head covering is preferred. Guided tours of the cathedral are available (in English, French, or Japanese) daily.
Monaco
Monaco, officially the Principality of Monaco, is a sovereign city-state, country, and microstate on the French Riviera in Western Europe. France borders the country on three sides while the other side borders the Mediterranean Sea. Monaco is about 15 km from the state border with Italy.
Nice
Nice, capital of the Alpes-Maritimes department on the French Riviera, sits on the pebbly shores of the Baie des Anges. Founded by the Greeks and later a retreat for 19th-century European elite, the city has also long attracted artists. Former resident Henri Matisse is honored with a career-spanning collection of paintings at Musée Matisse. Musée Marc Chagall features some of its namesake's major religious works.
Oceanographic Museum of Monaco
The Oceanographic Museum is a museum of marine sciences in Monaco-Ville, Monaco. It is home to the Mediterranean Science Commission. This building is part of the Oceanographic Institute, which is committed to sharing its knowledge of the oceans.
Prince's Palace of Monaco
The Prince's Palace of Monaco is the official residence of the Sovereign Prince of Monaco. Built in 1191 as a Genoese fortress, during its long and often dramatic history it has been bombarded and besieged by many foreign powers.

Itinerary

08:00

You’ll be delighted to find that Cannes has managed to keep its warmth of welcome and its Provençale roots. This ‘City of the Stars’ may be one of the most glamorous locations in the world but it remains accessible to everyone all year round.

Monaco has four distinct sections: the Old Town, called Monaco-Ville, sits on a 60 meters high promontory. This is where the Royal Palace, the government building and the Oceanographic Museum are located.

At the foot of the Old Town is La Condamine, the second area which forms the harbour and port district. Uphill from here is Monte Carlo, with its infamous casino and the grandest of the grand old hotels. The fourth area is the tidy industrial suburb of Fontvieille.

Despite being only a little bigger than a small city, Monaco has many visitor attractions. There are several museums, some lovely gardens, and amazing shopping areas. Of course, just being in Monaco is an attraction in itself. You never know who you’ll see sitting at the bar next to you or strolling along the marina.

Finally you’ll go to St Saint-Nicolas in Nice. The stunning cathedral was built under the patronage of Tsar Nicolas II in the beginning of the 20th century and inaugurated on Dec. 17, 1912.

The cathedral has five, colored and highly polished onion-domed cupolas giving it a 17th-century appearance. It is a stunning example of Russian Orthodox architecture. It is also equally impressive inside where you’ll see many intricate carvings and frescoes.
