The provincial capital of Girona, one of the most historical places in Spain, is located about 45 miles from Roses. Although now quite a large city, it has retained most of its compact old medieval quarter virtually intact, including the historic fortifications - and the former Jewish Quarter. After your coach arrives from Roses, your local guide will take you into the Jewish Quarter where you will discover the Arab Baths with their beautiful arches. In spite of the name, the construction of the baths is a western Romanesque style. Visit the Bonastruch Ca Porta Museum on the site of the old synagogue, as well as the medieval walls of the city and the remains of the Gironella Tower, which was destroyed by Napoleon during his retreat in 1814. You can’t miss seeing the outside of the great Catalonian Romanesque Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants. There will be some free time to explore, browse the shops, grab a bite to eat or drink on your own before boarding the bus and returning to Roses and your SeaDream yacht.

Description

Depart the port of Fréjus for an invigorating adventure that blends sightseeing with an immersive hike through the striking Esterel Mountains. Your instructor will meet you at the pier before you board a minivan for a scenic 45‑minute drive along the Mediterranean coast. As you approach the trailhead, the landscape transforms into a dramatic panorama of volcanic peaks rising sharply from the sea, their deep red tones contrasting beautifully with the intense blue of the water. This protected natural area spans 14,000 hectares and offers some of the region’s most captivating scenery.

Upon arrival, your instructor will guide you along a natural path that reveals the Esterel’s remarkable biodiversity. The southern slopes, sun‑drenched and dry, are covered with hardy Mediterranean vegetation adapted to limit water loss, while the cooler northern slopes host ferns, holly, and heather in a microclimate reminiscent of alpine environments. The volcanic soil, rugged and acidic, has shaped a unique ecosystem that thrives despite its challenges. Located between Saint‑Raphaël and Mandelieu‑la‑Napoule, the Esterel Massif is a Natura 2000 protected site, with its highest peak rising just over 2,000 feet.

As you continue your two‑hour hike, you’ll enjoy sweeping views, peaceful surroundings, and the opportunity to appreciate the geological and botanical richness of this extraordinary landscape. After the hike, your minivan will be waiting to take you back to Fréjus, offering a relaxing return journey after your time in nature.

Travel along one of the Riviera’s most scenic coastal roads as you make your way from Monaco to the medieval village of Èze, a spectacular hilltop settlement perched 430 meters above the sea. Before beginning your exploration, pause at a charming local brasserie at the foot of the village to enjoy a refreshing drink and light salty snacks. This peaceful stop sets the tone for your visit, offering a moment to take in the dramatic landscape and prepare for the ascent into one of the region’s most enchanting historic sites.

Your guided visit begins as you pass through Èze’s 14th‑century double gateway, complete with crenellations and a sentry walk that hints at the village’s fortified past. Once inside, wander through steep, narrow lanes lined with beautifully restored stone houses, many now home to artisan workshops, boutiques, and small galleries. With no vehicle access, Èze is best discovered on foot, allowing you to fully appreciate its timeless atmosphere and the extraordinary coastal views that unfold as you climb toward the summit.

After exploring the village at your own pace, continue toward the nearby perfumery, where a short walk brings you to another vantage point overlooking the surrounding hills. Restrooms are available both in Èze and at the perfumery. Please note that the ascent includes a series of steps and uneven surfaces, making comfortable walking shoes essential.
