Day 1 - Nice (Villefranche)

Arrive: Mon 03 August 2026 / Depart: Mon 03 August 2026 at 18:00

Nice, capital of the Alpes-Maritimes department on the French Riviera, sits on the pebbly shores of the Baie des Anges. Founded by the Greeks and later a retreat for 19th-century European elite, the city has also long attracted artists. Former resident Henri Matisse is honored with a career-spanning collection of paintings at Musée Matisse. Musée Marc Chagall features some of its namesake's major religious works.

Day 2 - Calvi

Arrive: Tue 04 August 2026 / Depart: Tue 04 August 2026

Nestled on a rocky spur in the north-west of Corsica, the port of Calvi offers its whiteness between two sapphire-coloured bays. Capital of the Balagne region, the Genoese city benefits from an exceptional natural setting between the abrupt relief of the central chain, fertile hills and long sandy beaches. From the promontory of the Notre-Dame-de-la-Serra chapel, built in the 19th century on the ruins of a 15th century sanctuary, you will not miss the sublime panorama of the seaside, the mountains and the Calvi citadel. A little further west, you will have the opportunity to discover with the peninsula of Revelatta, a wilder and more preserved part of Corsica.

Day 3 - Ajaccio

Arrive: Wed 05 August 2026 / Depart: Wed 05 August 2026

Ajaccio is the capital of Corsica, a French island in the Mediterranean Sea. A port city on the rugged isle's western coast, it was the birthplace of French Emperor Napoléon Bonaparte in 1769. His ancestral home, Maison Bonaparte, is now a museum displaying family heirlooms.

Day 3 - Sanguinaires Archipelago

Day 4 - Bonifacio

Arrive: Thu 06 August 2026 / Depart: Thu 06 August 2026

Perched precariously on a high rocky promontory, Bonifacio (Corsica - France) occupies a very special place in the Corsican andscape, particularly when viewed from the sea. A fortress city atop white limestone and granite cliffs that have been sculpted by wind and waves, Bonifacio’s historic medieval heart of tall, narrow houses and winding cobblestone streets is protected by an impressive citadel wall embellished with square towers : a beautiful sight.

Day 5 - Alghero

Arrive: Fri 07 August 2026 / Depart: Fri 07 August 2026

Day 6 - Mahon, Spain

Arrive: Sat 08 August 2026 / Depart: Sat 08 August 2026

Mahón, or Maó, is the capital of the Spanish island of Menorca. It’s known for its British-style Georgian houses and sheltered harbor. Santa María Church, with an ornate 19th-century organ, sits on central Plaça de la Constitució. Next to the church, the city hall has a Renaissance facade and a clock donated by the island’s first British governor.

Day 7 - Ibiza

Arrive: Sun 09 August 2026 / Depart: Sun 09 August 2026

Ibiza is one of the Balearic islands, an archipelago of Spain in the Mediterranean Sea. It's well known for the lively nightlife in Ibiza Town and Sant Antoni, where major European nightclubs have summer outposts. It’s also home to quiet villages, yoga retreats and beaches, from Platja d'en Bossa, lined with hotels, bars and shops, to quieter sandy coves backed by pine-clad hills found all around the coast.

Day 8 - Valencia

Arrive: Mon 10 August 2026 / Depart: Mon 10 August 2026

Valencia - the city of Art and Sciences. Two hearts beat in this Spanish city: one is modern, avantgarde and almost futuristic; the other is more provincial, more traditional and nostalgic. Valencia has the temperament of a great Mediterranean city whose wide avenues form a border around the old town. The city has an abundance of architectural styles that coexist harmoniously, but above all it resolutely embraces the 21st Century with the futuristic structures of its Agora congress centre and City of Arts and Sciences, emerging from a crystal blue pool.

Day 9 - Barcelona

Arrive: Tue 11 August 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Tue 11 August 2026

Madrid’s Catalan rival, Barcelona, is fiercely proud of its cultural identity forged from a melting pot of artistic talent. Enriched by its past when the paths of great masters like Picasso, Dali and celebrated architect Gaudi crossed, the city’s cosmopolitan character ensures its status as an unsurpassed centre of culture. Explore the ruins of the Gothic District or simply stroll along the famous Ramblas.
