The Cote d’Azur and the French Riviera bring to mind the spectacular towns of St. Tropez,  Cannes, and Monte Carlo, the fascinating town in Monaco.  Steeped in history, as well as natural beauty, this area is an excellent destination for a music tour from April through September.

CONCERTS, EXCURSIONS AND ACCOMMODATION

Concert venues, amongst others, could include the Monaco Summer Park, the beach front at Le Lavandou, bandstands in Nice and Grasse and town squares in Nimes and Avignon.

Visit Nice, originally an Italian city until 1860 and the home of Garibaldi, with its neo-classical buildings, fine restaurants and museums.

Travel on to the principality of Monaco, home of the late Prince Rainier and his wife the former actress Grace Kelly. Here you find the town of Monte Carlo with its hotels, casino, harbour and host to the Formula 1 Grand Prix car race held on the town roads!

If the ‘high’ life is not to your liking perhaps visit Grasse, capital of the perfume industry with free perfume factory tours and International Perfume Museum. The town also boasts the massive 12th century cathedral and bishops palace, the former containing many paintings of which three are by the famous artist Rubens.

Relaxation can include a glass-bottom boat ride, ten pin bowling, shopping in St. Tropez and much more!

Accommodation would be in a 3* hotel with twin-bedded rooms for adults and multi-bedded rooms for students, all with en suite facilities.
