Centrally located between Antibes and Monaco, this town doesn’t only offer lots of possibilities to stroll around on the Promenade des Anglais. You can also gain cultural insights in the old town of the city and reach beautiful villages in the vicinity.
  • Milan: Few other cities combine culture, fashion and Italian lifestyle like Milan does. Discover cultural highlights like the Milan Cathedral and enjoy a driving tour to the Lake Como in a luxury car.
