Suggested ten-day small-group route from the Côte d’Azur through Provence to Barcelona. Transport, bases, visits and included services are confirmed to order.
This programme is an example and is adapted to the travel dates, group composition and client preferences. The final route, availability, schedule, price and included services are confirmed in a tailored proposal.
From Mediterranean France to Catalonia
This suggested ten-day route connects the Côte d’Azur, Provence and Barcelona without reducing the journey to one long transfer. It can begin in Nice with the Riviera and hill villages, continue through selected Provençal cities and landscapes, then finish in Catalonia.
The exact corridor depends on flights, hotel bases and group interests. Antibes, Cannes, Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, Avignon or a smaller village is selected only when it fits the available days and road plan.
Art, food, coast and historic centres
Possible experiences include Riviera art and seafronts, Provençal markets and gastronomy, wine or olive-oil visits, and Barcelona’s old quarters and modernist architecture. Timed monuments, wineries and workshops are confirmed before the itinerary becomes binding.
A cross-border programme tailored to the group
The package can include nine hotel nights with breakfast, Nice and Barcelona airport transfers, private road transport, a tour leader and local guides. The route may operate in reverse when the international flight plan is better.
