Grande Corniche Cruising with Jeep Freedom
Collect your Jeep Wrangler at Nice Airport and experience the iconic Grande Corniche road, famously featured in James Bond’s ‘Never Say Never’ as he raced along its dramatic cliffs in a thrilling car chase. The route is a 40 km scenic road perched up to 507 metres above sea level, featuring hairpin bends, breathtaking views and panoramic viewpoints that demand precision driving, perfect for your Jeep.
Make a stop at the charming village of Villefranche-sur-Mer, where you can stroll the picturesque harbour. Enjoy brunch at La Stoa at the Hôtel de la Darse. They offer a lavish choice on the terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. Continue your drive to Beaulieu-sur-Mer, an elegant seaside town with a picturesque harbour and lovely beaches for a refreshing dip.

Spend the afternoon at the elegant Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula, where you can visit the lush Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild gardens, featuring nine beautifully themed terraces filled with vibrant flowers, exotic plants and serene fountains overlooking the sparkling Mediterranean Sea.
Sporty Fun in a Jeep Wrangler 2-Door
Sharing the same engine as the 4-door, the 2-door 4-seater Wrangler offers a compact, agile drive, ideal for a smaller family. It is perfect for both city streets and tight coastal roads, offering elevated seating for admiring the astounding views on the Côte d’Azur. The cabin is a combination of rugged durability and modern tech, with the Uconnect touchscreen system keeping you up to date with road conditions and routes.

As the driver, you will enjoy the choice of Drive Modes, designed to optimise performance for different conditions. Try Auto Mode, which automatically adjusts power between two-wheel and four-wheel drive for balanced efficiency and traction. Then switch to 4WD High to engage four-wheel drive for better grip on slippery surfaces at normal speeds.
A Picturesque Drive to Saint-Paul-de-Vence
Explore the coast south of Nice in your Jeep Wrangler 2-door on a day trip to Saint-Paul-de-Vence, about 20 km away along the scenic M2210 and D2 roads. This route winds through fragrant pine forests and rolling hills, with glimpses of the Mediterranean. Stop in Cagnes-sur-Mer to see the Château Grimaldi, a medieval fortress dating back to 1309. Perched atop the hill, it offers panoramic views of the town, the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding Alps. Inside, you will find a museum showcasing modern and contemporary art, including works by artists such as Cocteau, Dufy and Foujita.
Then head inland to Saint-Paul-de-Vence, where you can explore its narrow cobbled streets filled with art galleries, boutique shops and charming cafés. Don’t miss the Fondation Maeght, a renowned modern art museum showcasing works by Chagall, Miró and Giacometti. Enjoy a late lunch at Les Remparts, located in the heart of the village. This charming restaurant offers a menu featuring fresh, seasonal produce and Mediterranean flavours. Order the grilled sea bass or the vegetable risotto, paired with a glass of local rosé. After lunch, enjoy some local shopping. Gypse is a beautiful boutique offering off-the-peg fashion and accessories. La boutique de Léa has a large selection of Provence tablecloths, and La petite boutique offers a curated selection of French designer jewellery, accessories, and a line of trendy handbags.
