Onwards to Southern France

From Spain, your next stop will be the glamorous French Riviera to bask under the Mediterranean sun in Nice, explore the old town in Cannes, or try your luck in the upscale casinos of Monte Carlo.

An Italian Sojourn

The journey continues further east into Italy, where you get to experience the romantic charm of Venice, the breath-taking art scene in Florence and the mouth-watering traditional pizza in Naples.
