The Three Days

Each day follows the same rhythm: a focused morning workshop, then an afternoon activity that matches the energy of the day.

Arrival — Friday, July 4

Settle In

Everyone arrives and gets settled at the villa. No agenda, just relax.

✈️

Getting There

Harry, Alej & Sophie — flying into Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE). Approx. 30–45 min drive along the coast to Menton.

Anthony — driving in separately, meeting everyone at the villa.

🏠

5:00 PM — Villa Check-In

Address: villa address — to be added

⚠️ Heads up on access — it's around 191 stairs down to the town centre and train, and the access road up is narrow and steep. Worth it for the view, but pack good walking shoes and plan to share the load on luggage day.

Before Check-In — Things to Do

Check-in isn't until 5pm. If flights land in the morning, a few ways to spend the afternoon between Nice and Menton.

🍽️
Lunch in Nice
Long lunch before the drive down to Menton. A few good spots:
  • Bart — focaccia sandwiches
  • Foca — focaccia sandwiches
  • Café Fino

🏖️
Beach Club in Nice
Sunbeds, food, swimming in the Med. Recover from the flight before the drive to Menton.
  • La Plage
  • Ruhl Plage
  • Castel Plage
  • Le Galet
  • Bocca Mar
Villefranche-sur-Mer
Short detour east of Nice. One of the most photogenic harbours on the coast — colourful houses, sheltered bay, lunch with a view.

Medieval village perched on a cliff between Nice and Menton. Walk the lanes, take in the view from the Jardin Exotique, then continue down the coast.
