France (Nice, Provence & Gorges du Verdon)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Stretching from the glamorous Mediterranean coastline to dramatic inland landscapes, the region encompassing Nice, Provence, and the Gorges du Verdon is one of France's most diverse and celebrated corners. Nice, the capital of the French Riviera, is known for its vibrant old town, pebbly beaches, and world-class art museums, while Provence captivates visitors with its lavender fields, hilltop villages, Roman ruins, and renowned cuisine. The Gorges du Verdon — often called the "Grand Canyon of Europe" — draws hikers, climbers, kayakers, and road-trippers to its towering turquoise-watered ravines. Together, these destinations attract independent travellers and groups seeking a mix of culture, outdoor adventure, and the legendary art de vivre of southern France.

Riviera & Provence Road Trip: Self-Launched Budget Version

A 5-day self-launched version of EPIKdrives' Porsche sat-nav tour of the Riviera and Provence. Instead of a chauffeured supercar and 5-star hotels, you pick up an economy rental car (or use the train/bus network) in Nice and follow the same legendary roads yourself — the Balcony Road above the Riviera, the Route Napoleon, the Gorges du Verdon and the Luberon villages around Gordes. You'll stay in hostels and budget guesthouses in Nice and Apt/Gordes, download the route as a GPX to your phone, and see the same scenery for roughly a tenth of the price. Costs are approximate backpacker/budget traveller estimates in GBP per person.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for France (Nice, Provence & Gorges du Verdon) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
