Live it up in Monte Carlo, Eze and Beaulieu

Spend an entire day exploring the principality of Monaco and the mountains and coast that surround it. Begin with a drive along the famous Corniche Road to Beaulieu-sur-Mer, where you can visit the spectacular Villa Kerylos, a Belle Époque mansion built in the early 1900s in the style of classical Greece. Raised on a plot surrounded by the sea on three sides, the villa was designed with the latest 20th-century technology, including plumbing and underfloor heating. Next travel on to Eze, a village perched dramatically on the cliff top 1,400 feet above the Mediterranean Sea, affording splendid views along the coast. Explore the narrow, winding streets and pretty squares, and you may like to see the Jardin Exotique, home to around 400 cacti, citrus trees, and tropical plants. Your final stop is glamorous Monte Carlo. Here you can visit the extravagant Palais Princier, residence of the royal family, and the Oceanography Museum with its famous aquarium.
