France - Provence-Alps-Côte d’Azur

Grande Corniche


A Karen Brown Recommendation

Nice, Provence-Alps-Côte d’Azur, France
Recenter Map To This Location

On the French Riviera travelling between the coastal towns of Nice and Menton, you have a choice of three roads that all run somewhat parallel to each other following the contours of the coast. The Grande Corniche or “high” road was built by Napoleon and passes through picturesque villages perchés. The Moyenne Corniche or “middle” road is a lovely, wide, modern road. The Corniche Inférieure or “low” road was built in the 18th century by the Prince of Monaco and enables you to visit the wealthy coastal communities and the principality of Monaco. Each road offers a uniquely appealing route. A suggestion would be to loop in one direction on the Corniche Inférieure to enjoy the water and the coastal towns (this is the busiest road during the summer months), and return via a combination of both the Grande and Moyenne Corniches.
