The Rivieras; A Mediterranean Masterpiece
Welcome to AE Expeditions’ The ‘Rivieras’: A Mediterranean Masterpiece. The exclusive ‘Rivieras’ have for centuries inspired artists, architects, authors and actors. This voyage entertains us with tales of the famous faces who sculpted anonymous seaside villages and medieval towns into today's vibrant slice of European glamour. We’ll follow their vision through the eclectic eras of the renaissance, the grand tour, la belle epoque, the Bon Vivants, the swinging sixties and more, as we explore the Mediterranean's most sought-after stretch of coast.
