48 Hours Of Riviera Chic

If 48 hours is all you have in Monaco, prepare to let yourself be swept into a little world where glamour and elegance feel second nature.

- Words: Audrey Simon

MONACO, THAT RADIANT jewel between the Mediterranean’s blue embrace and the golden cliffs of the Riviera, has a way of making every moment feel precious. Consider this not just an itinerary, but a personal invitation to savour perfection in small doses because two days here will never feel enough. You'll leave with a desire to return, to sink deeper into its rarefied charm.

DAY ONE: ARRIVE IN STYLE

Your arrival should be nothing short of spectacular. Picture yourself boarding Monacair’s sleek helicopter at Nice’s airport. In just seven minutes you cross a world, gliding above the sparkling Côte d'Azur with the Alps etched against the horizon. It's the kind of cinematic arrival that makes you hum a James Bond theme without realising it.

On the ground, a chauffeur awaits to usher you into Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, an icon of elegance since 1864. Its storied halls have hosted monarchs, film stars, and legends of every era. Today, they welcome you into the same timeless grandeur.
