Incentive Activities

An Incentive Itinerary for the Principality of Monaco

Day One

Your group arrives at Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport and clears immigration and customs. Guests get the immediate thrill of a 7-minute helicopter transfer to Monaco. After a breathtaking journey to Monaco, the group is free to get its first taste of the wondrous Principality before a cocktail reception at the hotel followed by a buffet dinner. Zest Lounge or Brasserie de Monaco are the perfect places for those who want to enjoy a drink by the waterside at Port Hercule, typically hosting some of the most elegant yachts. An informative pictorial guidebook of the Principality of Monaco along with postcards are offered to all as a welcome gift.

Day Two

This morning, your guests get better acquainted with the Principality on an orientation tour. Fascinating sights include the Old Town, where they will visit the Oceanographic Museum and the Cathedral of Saint-Nicholas where Prince Rainier III married Grace Kelly in 1956. Your group is then free to wander the charming medieval streets and squares before the colorful changing of the guard in the Palace Square where the royal wedding festivities of H.S.H Prince Albert II and H.S.H Princess Charlene took place on July 2, 2011. Lunch is taken in a typical Monégasque restaurant where your guests have the opportunity to savor local dishes, such as barbagiuans and pissaladière prepared especially for them. After lunch, the group leaves Monaco and climbs 1,500 ft. above the sea to visit the quaint medieval village of Eze. Here, they might also visit the perfumeries of Fragonard and create their own personal scent with the help of an expert. Tonight’s dinner will be at the Prince’s Private Collection of Classic Cars. Guests will be able to walk around a hundred cars of all ages. Tonight, the room gift is a limited-edition silver-plated cell phone holder to commemorate H.S.H Prince Albert II and H.S.H Princess Charlene’s wedding.

Day Three

Changing of the Guard at the Palace

This morning, participate in an exciting regatta along the Riviera coastline. Lunch at Alain Llorca’s Café Llorca overlooking the Mediterranean or at the Explorer’s Pub, a gastro-pub museum right on the harbor where guests dine while enjoying memorabilia from the Princes of Monaco’s explorations. During the afternoon, your guests will be free to discover the numerous attractions of The Principality… Enter The New National Museum of Modern Art (NMNM) and explore the Exotic Garden and its Observatory Cave which plunges close to sea level. They will be delighted at every corner. As night falls, a surprise awaits. To prove that you can’t go wrong with any of Monaco’s world-class restaurants, guests will have the opportunity to choose between several of them during a dine around. They’re off for a scrumptious meal. After dinner, your guests may choose to go dancing at Zelos, a hot spot offering a chic bar in a contemporary décor with state-of-theart music, or at the famous Jimmy’z, the spot to see and be seen. Tonight’s gift: Monaco-made porcelain with the royal seal.

Day Four Today is the day to discover the ease with which the city, coast and country are combined. In the morning, the group departs Monaco for a full-day sortie into France, which can also be done as a car rally armed with road books and a list of items to collect. The Old Town of Nice and the bustling city of Cannes, known for its renowned film festival on the Croisette harbor, are among the attractions. Lunch is at leisure. Saint Paul de Vence, an extraordinary 12th century fortified village, is the next destination. Since the 1920s, this town has become a haven for movie stars and artists such as Marc Chagall. The afternoon will offer an opportunity to explore the quaint streets of this old walled village, browse the charming boutiques and galleries, and end the visit with a game of pétanque.

Oceanographic Museum

Back in Monaco, the evening begins with another fabulous dinner and a show at the Sporting Club. Table gifts of casino chips are included, and guests are free to test their luck at the casino. 11
