Monaco Grand Prix Package Tours

Hotel and transfers can be arranged

Price dependent on items required per person based on sharing a twin/double room. 

FRIDAY

After arriving on the Thursday, Friday is free for you to relax around the swimming pool at the Ermitage, cruise into Cannes or just take it easy. We will be gathering for drinks that evening before an excellent dinner at a top restaurant in Mandelieu which is of course all included.
 
QUALIFYING - SATURDAY

For Saturday we can offer as an option viewing from our yacht to watch the F1 qualifying, GP2 race and support races. There will be a simple lunch served on board plus a pay bar which is open from 10.00am. Alternatively, spend the day lazing by the hotel pool, watching and being watched as you stroll down the Croisette in Cannes or venture into Nice – the choice is yours. If you are in Monaco then stay on and spend the evening – the town is your oyster… Try your luck at the Casino’s gaming tables, have a beer in the famous Tip Top Club (the scene of Mike Hailwood’s baton battle with the police and Graham Hill’s underpants dance....) right next to the track as it runs down toward Mirabeau or just go people watching and enjoy the unique atmosphere of Monaco the night before the GP. 

RACE DAY - SUNDAY

Having returned to the hotel and got at least some sleep....It’s up for breakfast and then jump into the pre-booked transfer vehicles which will take you into the centre of Monaco just a few minutes from the quayside and the water taxis which will take you to ‘your’ yacht. 
The transfer time is 45 minutes from hotel to Monaco and a far more civilized option than taking the train! As you stroll down to the quayside via the stands and stalls why not take a drink or two at a bar before catching the start of the day’s action. For the uninitiated, this Grand Prix really must be experienced. A uniquely heady atmosphere fills the Principality on race day and the sound is genuinely phenomenal! The sound of modern day F1 cars is amazing at the best of times but within this tight, built up area it takes it to another level. Quite astonishing. After the race we will be heading off to Stars 'n Bars which is the team's favourite hangout, positioned right by the paddock area. There's time for a few drinks and snacks before we are transferred back to the Ermitage. The rest of Sunday night is free. 
On the Monday you are free to depart to return home. The hotel is around 15 minutes from Nice Airport. 

THE HOTEL

The hotel we use for the Monaco GP Tour has been our base for the last seven years. Unlike (dare we say boring) modern Hiltons or Inter-Continentals they offer a unique blend of comfort, hospitality and ‘Frenchness’; with plenty of character and style but please don’t expect the usual modern city international format of 59 satellite channels on your TV, 24 hour room service and 12 robots manning the reception desk! The Ermitage du Riou is in the exclusive and small beach resort of Mandelieu Napoule with a fantastic location right on the yachting marina and the bay of Cannes. The rooms are all beautifully decorated and this classic style mansion house is extremely comfortable and stylish combining antique furniture with the modern facilities you would expect of a four star hotel. There is secure parking at the residence and a Michelin recommended restaurant plus a small outdoor swimming pool and terrace. Parking is secure in the hotel’s courtyard.  

 
This is package represents excellent value. Our full Tour including 4 night’s 4 star hotel, GP viewing from private yacht with open bar, gourmet lunch and wines, gourmet dinners, drinks etc., costs from £2290.00.
