Nice to Saint-Tropez
A Classic Journey through coastal cliffs, cinematic towns & secret coves.
From flavourful Nice to sun-lit Saint-Tropez, this journey reveals the Riviera’s real magic: vibrant coastal towns, clear-blue coves, millennia-old cliffside trails, and the warm, creative culture of the South of France.
All versions of this multi-adventure journey blend water activities, iconic hikes and bike paths, artisan encounters, and immersive moments where you learn to live like a local — moving, exploring, and slowing down in true Mediterranean style.
Your only decision is how deep you want to go: a Classic Journey shaped around layered experiences, or an In-Depth Escape that lets you drift deeper into South of France stories, flavours, and hidden corners.

Beginners, families, and mixed-ability groups are welcome on many trips. Your host will help shape each day so everyone feels engaged, supported, and comfortable.

Group size depends on whether the trip is private or open.
Private trips have no fixed minimum or maximum. For the best overall experience, we generally recommend keeping groups under 16 guests. For very small private groups (under 4 guests), a small-group premium may apply to cover fixed logistics and staffing costs.
Open trips are intentionally capped at around 16 guests, ensuring smooth logistics, strong group dynamics, and a more personal experience.
Any group-size considerations will be clearly confirmed during the planning process and detailed in your Trip Doc.
