Description

Nice has a light that drew painters for over a century. For three weeks, it becomes your address: the colourful lanes of Old Nice, the Cours Saleya market stalls, pissaladière and pan bagnat, and the Promenade des Anglais along a sea that changes shades of blue all day.

The group stays 20 nights in a central aparthotel, steps from the beaches and the promenade. Having your own kitchen changes everything: shop at the market like a local, cook if you like, go out if you prefer.

The days are free. Your tour escort offers optional excursions to Monaco, Cannes and Menton, as far as Sanremo in Italy, or to the hilltop villages of Èze and Saint-Paul-de-Vence. The inexpensive regional train runs along the whole coast for those who like to explore on their own.

A final night in Marseille, between the Old Port and the calanques, rounds off the stay.

Highlights:
-An ideal location to discover the French Riviera
-Accommodation in the heart of Nice, near the beaches and the Promenade des Anglais
-Niçoise cuisine and the Mediterranean climate
-1 night in Marseille before the end of the stay

Accommodation categories:
Nice: Aparthotel Adagio Nice Promenade des Anglais 4* or similar (standard studio or sea-view apartment)
Marseille: Hotel ibis Marseille Aéroport Provence 3* or similar

Synergia network group departures

Advisors in the Voyages Synergia network build their own escorted group departures every year, with limited places. These are trips born of a passion rather than a catalogue: fishing in Guatemala, safari in East Africa, guided expeditions. The list above changes with the seasons.

What sets these departures apart

  • A Quebec tour leader who knows the destination and travels with the group
  • A restricted number of places, often a few dozen, sometimes fewer than ten
  • A clear theme, built around one activity rather than a destination alone
  • Fixed dates: you join the departure, you do not build it

How to book

Each departure has its own responsible advisor. Choose the trip that interests you in the list, then reach us through the contact page for remaining places and terms. These departures often fill months ahead.

Other ways to travel as a group

If no date suits you, two other routes exist: organized trips, already built and sold by tour operators, and a custom group, built around your own participants. Voyages AquaTerra holds Quebec permit 702703.

Frequently Asked Questions

An escorted trip built by an advisor in the Voyages Synergia network, on fixed dates with limited places, usually built around one specific activity.
No. Most participants do not know each other at departure. That is one reason these trips appeal to people travelling alone.
It varies by product, from a few dozen to fewer than ten on expeditions. The number is stated in each departure file.
Often yes, several months ahead, because places are limited. It is worth enquiring as soon as a date is announced.
Sometimes, depending on the flights and hotels used. Ask the responsible advisor before confirming, since it changes the air booking.
