Côte d’Azur, Nice: welcome to paradise.

At the edge of the Mediterranean, where gentle waves meet the pebble beach, Nice welcomes you with Côte d’Azur elegance and effortless lightness. From Nice Airport, a helicopter flight and short shuttle transfer take you directly to the 5-star hotel “Lily of the Valley” in La Croix-Valmer, south of St. Tropez.

After the drivers’ briefing, the hotel’s magnificent view over the bay sets the mood for the days ahead. The light, the sea and the relaxed atmosphere of the French Riviera create the ideal setting for a memorable first evening.

Massif des Maures: Alpine curves above the Côte d’Azur.

The feeling of driving a Porsche cannot be compared with anything else – not even a helicopter flight. Your first driving stage runs just a few centimetres above the asphalt along the azure coast of southern France before the road climbs into the Massif des Maures. Dense forests, rugged hills and the winding Col de Babaou create a driving experience full of rhythm, precision and sweeping views.

This southern region of France has long been shaped by fishing villages, vineyards, cork oaks and Provençal traditions. Back at “Lily of the Valley”, the afternoon is yours to enjoy: explore the hotel, unwind by the sea or take a short trip to St. Tropez. In the evening, dinner at the hotel’s beach club brings the day to a relaxed close.

La Croix Valmer, Lorgues, Tourrettes: France's most exciting roads.

When you explore the hinterland of the French Riviera, you may wonder why so many people stay by the coast. The “Route nationale 562” is considered one of the most exciting roads in France, with countless bends and gradients leading through rolling vineyards towards your lunch stop at a local delicacy restaurant.

Afterwards, the 5-star hotel “Terre Blanche” welcomes you for the next 2 nights. Set across 300 hectares, its spacious suites and villas are located in detached country houses on the hillside and offer remarkable views of the surrounding medieval villages. A fitting reason to park your Porsche for the evening.

Tourrettes, Moustiers Sainte-Marie, Tourrettes: breathtaking natural monument.

A special route also leads from Tourrettes to Moustiers Sainte-Marie. The picturesque village of 700, north of the Lac de Sainte-Croix reservoir, is quite rightly considered one of the most picturesque mountain villages in France. After a lunch of typical French refinement, your journey continues through Provence – past the Grand Canyon du Verdon, one of the largest gorges in Europe.

Over thousands of years, the water dug into the mountain and now meanders through the 700-metre-deep gorge in a turquoise-blue river. A breathtaking natural monument. Your return to the hotel “Terre Blanche” will make you feel like a king in France in this dreamlike setting.

Tourrettes, Gourdon, Vence: a pearl of Provence.

Gourdon is undoubtedly another jewel among “Les Plus Beaux Villages de France” – the most beautiful villages in France. From here, the view opens across the surrounding landscape before the route continues towards Vence, one of the most famous destinations in Provence, which has retained the charm of a quiet Alpine town.

Set in the heart of Provence, “Domaine du Mas de Pierre Hôtel Resort & Spa” is only moments from Saint-Paul-de-Vence, known for its cobbled streets, love of art and gentle way of life. If you can tear yourself away from the view of the coast, a visit to the hotel’s wine cellar reveals that southern France can also be discovered through the palate.

Vence, Col de Turini, Cap-Ferrat: Rally spirit and Riviera elegance.

Ready for the spirit of the Rallye Monte-Carlo? On a section of the legendary original route, countless hairpin bends lead up to the Col de Turini, where your Porsche can show its full precision and agility. Lunch awaits at the “Les Trois Vallées”, a traditional restaurant on the pass with a long-standing local character.

Your destination is the world-famous “Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat” on the French Riviera. Set in complete privacy between pine trees and the Mediterranean, the hotel offers elegant rooms, exceptional gardens, a legendary pool club and sweeping sea views. Staying here for 2 nights is one of the refined highlights of the tour.

Nice, L’Escarène, Nice: Sport and luxury combined.

Today, the choice is yours. Enjoy the exceptional atmosphere of the “Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat” or take your Porsche out one final time for a drive into the French Alps, where winding roads and dramatic views offer pure driving pleasure.

In the evening, the Farewell Dinner awaits at the hotel. Over fine cuisine and shared memories, you can look back on the days behind the wheel, the coastal roads and the Alpine curves. You arrived as guests – and leave with the feeling of having shared something special.

Nice: “Nissa La Bella” of the Côte d’Azur.

After memorable days between the Mediterranean coast, Provence and the French Alps, your journey comes to an end in Nice. The city known as “Nissa La Bella” combines sea views, Belle Époque façades and the relaxed elegance of the Côte d’Azur.

As you look back on sweeping roads, refined hotels and shared moments, the next Porsche Travel Experience may already begin to take shape in your mind. We look forward to seeing you again.
