Program

18.May.2008 - Sunday - Nice/France - 5:00 PM
With its casual affluence, flower-lined streets, flourishing markets, and interesting museums (the Musée Chagall and Musée Matisse are highlights), Nice is a charming introduction to the spirit of the Côte d’Azur. Stroll along its wide sunny boulevards, broken here and there by shady gardens and parks. Or stop for bouillabaisse, a specialty of the area, in a local restaurant.

19.May.2008 - Monday - St. Tropez/France 8:00 AM MIDNIGHT
Small but chic, St. Tropez is a lively town whose beaches are legendary, both for their beauty and for the beauties on them. Follow the narrow lanes from the waterfront, and you’ll arrive at the oldest part of St. Tropez, where twisting narrow streets open onto tiny squares and fountains. Great views can be had from the 16th-century Citadel, but the most interesting views are from a chair in a sidewalk café: sit on the terrace and watch the fascinating, flirtatious French Riviera pass by.

20.May.2008 - Tuesday - Cannes/France 8:00 AM OVERNIGHT
Cannes is the sister city to Beverly Hills and the chic epicenter of the French Riviera – a world of exclusive boutiques, palm-lined avenues, starlet-studded beaches, and elegant sidewalk cafes. While most famous for its Film Festival in May, when international celebrities gather to screen films and make deals, it glitters every month with swimming and sunning by day, and a club and casino scene by night.

21.May.2008 - Wednesday Cannes/France OVERNIGHT 11:00 PM

22.May.2008 - Thursday - St. Florent/Corsica 10:00 AM 6:00 PM
Corsica may be part of France, but the Mediterranean island feels more Italian than French. First it was Pisa that ruled the island, followed in the 15th century by the neighboring Genoese. Then in 1768, the cash-strapped Italian city-state sold their 'colony' to France. Even today, the local patois can be traced back to a Genoa dialect. Set on a brilliant blue water bay, St-Florent is the capital of the Nebbio, the broad green valley that stretches inland to the south. As well as bobbing yachts, the harbour has restaurants dotted along the quayside. Although the Genoese arrived in the 15th century, the town's history is much older.

23.May.2008 - Friday - Monte Carlo/Monaco 8:00 AM OVERNIGHT
The fairy-tale kingdom of Monte Carlo glitters with opulence and jet-set glamour, and the action centers around its famed casinos. Inside, under gilt-edged ceilings and ornate frescoes, fortunes are made or lost. Elsewhere in Monaco are the Prince’s Palace, from which the Grimaldi dynasty has ruled since 1297; the Cathedral where Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier; and the Rock of Monaco, where gardens cascade to the sea.
