Porsche Driving Tour of the Riviera

Porsche Driving Tour of the Riviera: Legends of the Riviera

Legends of the Riviera is the ROXMOTORS Porsche Driving Tour that swaps Alpine passes for the Mediterranean: 10 days and around 1,880 km behind the wheel of a Porsche, starting in Stuttgart — home of the brand — and crossing Germany, France, Monaco, Italy and Switzerland. The Black Forest, Route Napoléon, Gorges du Verdon, the Côte d’Azur and Cinque Terre in a single itinerary, with 4★ superior and 5★ hotels, a support vehicle and dedicated curation from start to finish.

From the Black Forest to the Mediterranean

The route alternates pure driving days with time to enjoy each destination: the B500 and the Route Napoléon for those who love corners, two nights in Monaco with a full free day, and two nights in Portovenere with a car-free day in Cinque Terre by train and boat. It is the Porsche Driving Tour with more coastline, more gastronomy and a more relaxed pace — ideal for travelling as a couple.

Route highlights

  • B500 — Schwarzwaldhochstraße — the Black Forest high road, dozens of kilometres of perfect tarmac between fir trees and viewpoints;
  • Colmar and Lake Annecy — half-timbered Alsace and the lake nicknamed the “Venice of the Alps”;
  • Route Napoléon — the road Napoleon took on his return in 1815, with sweeping bends and citadels such as Sisteron;
  • Gorges du Verdon — the “Grand Canyon of Europe”, along the Route des Crêtes and the Corniche Sublime, with 700 m cliffs above Lake Sainte-Croix;
  • Grande Corniche and Èze — the highest of the three Riviera roads and the medieval village 400 m above the sea;
  • Monaco, 2 nights — a base in the heart of the Principality, with a full free day;
  • Cinque Terre and Portovenere — a UNESCO World Heritage Site, explored by train and boat;
  • Porsche Museum and Motorworld — the trip begins in Stuttgart.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do I need to bring my own car? No. The Porsche is included and waiting for you in Stuttgart.
  • Can I bring a companion? Yes — pricing is per vehicle, not per person, and the route was designed to be enjoyed as a couple.
  • Can I choose the model? The base package is the 718, with upgrade to 911 or Panamera. Ask about other models of the brand.
  • How is it different from Legends of the Alps? Legends of the Alps focuses on the great mountain passes — Stelvio, Furka, Grossglockner. Legends of the Riviera trades altitude for the Mediterranean, with more rest days and more gastronomy.
  • Why October? It is the end of the high season on the Riviera: still mild weather, and quieter roads and villages.
  • Do you also run motorcycle tours in Europe? Yes. See the full calendar of European tours.
