Daytrip 6: Car trip along the Corniche between Menton and Nice
The Corniche along the Riviera is formed by three beautiful roads that lie at different heights on the steep slopes along the Mediterranean Sea.
Spectacular routes
-
Grande Corniche – the highest route, offering spectacular views over the Mediterranean Sea. Winding and approximately 31 kilometres long.
-
Corniche Moyenne – the middle road; less spectacular, but still well worth the drive.
-
Corniche Inférieure – the coastal road connecting all towns from Menton to Nice. During high season, it can get quite busy.
This is a beautiful route that you can easily drive in about 3 hours, including a few scenic stops along the way.
