France & Monaco 2027

Get ready for a journey along the French Riviera and into Provence, where Mediterranean coastlines, hilltop villages, and rich culinary traditions come together for an unforgettable cultural experience.

The trip begins in Nice with a stroll along the iconic Promenade des Anglais and a wander through the vibrant Old Town and bustling local market. A day trip to glamorous Monaco brings visits to the Prince's Palace, the Oceanographic Museum, and the luxurious Monte Carlo district, followed by an afternoon in the picturesque citrus town of Menton, home to the Jean Cocteau Museum, lush gardens, and a lemon-themed tasting. Students will then roll up their sleeves for a coastal cleanup with a local marine conservation group and a hands-on Niçoise cooking workshop alongside a local chef.

Next, we venture into the Provençal countryside to the hilltop villages of Èze—where students will tour a traditional perfumery—and Saint-Paul-de-Vence, known for its galleries and artisan shops. The journey continues to Marseille, with a boat ride to the island fortress of Château d'If, made famous by The Count of Monte Cristo, and a guided hike through the dramatic limestone cliffs and turquoise coves of Calanques National Park along with a trip to Cassis.
