Self-guided tour inside the basilica (free admission) before starting our descent towards the Corniche JF Kennedy.
• Stop 2: Parc Valmer A cool, shady break among the exotic trees of this 19th-century park. Admire the magnificent Villa Valmer and its trompe-l'oeil 'rockery' decorations.
• Stop 3: L'Anse de la Fausse Monnaie Pass under the Corniche Kennedy viaduct to discover this small, embedded pocket harbor and its legendary history of counterfeiters.
