Re-live the movies with a stunning drive along The French Riviera April 16th, 2010 Luxury tour operator Grand Tourist, renowned for its exquisite itineraries and programmes, is inviting travellers to take a step into the movies with its latest package, a driving tour along the French Riviera.

What better way to explore the magical surroundings of the South of France, with its Mediterranean shorelines, sandy beaches and blue sea and skies, than to take to the coastal road in an open top car in the style of Cary Grant and Grace Kelly in the 1955 classic film ‘To Catch a Thief'.

Grand Tourist will arrange for travellers to pick up their car, choose from a convertible Mini Cooper or Alfa Romeo Spider, or have one delivered direct to their hotel. Guests are then invited to make their way along the spectacular coastlines eastwards from Nice towards the hilltop village of Eze.

The relaxed itinerary, priced at £995 per person*, allows guests to experience panoramic views of the Riviera stretching from Menton in the east across to the world renowned resort for the rich and famous at St. Tropez in the west. Travellers can follow in the footsteps of an abundance of novelists, actors and artists, including  F. Scott Fitzgerald, Brigitte Bardot and Pablo Picasso to name but a few.

The package includes a two night stay at the luxury Chevre d'Or Hotel in Eze with a delicious dining experience in the hotel's double Michelin starred restaurant, a one night stay at the Royal Riviera Hotel in Beaulieu with a stunning sea view, a daily breakfast buffet, two days convertible hire and chauffeur driven transfers to and from the airport.

Grand Tourist can tailor a shorter or longer trip to suit a customer's requirements and other convertible cars are available to hire including a Volkswagen Beetle, a Bentley GT, Ferraris and Porsches amongst others**.
