Above the Bay: An Intimate French Riviera Elopement on the Hillsides

The French Riviera was initially a destination for their babymoon vacation. But just before flying to the South of France, they decided to make it even more special with a super intimate elopement. In less than a week, we plan their elopement to create a romantic and intimate elopement stroll, focusing on creating a deeply personal atmosphere. Every planned step allowed them to experience Riviera’s beauty while celebrating their love and their upcoming new family member.

An Elopement stroll from the seaside to the hilltops

Their journey started at a peaceful viewpoint which stood above Villefranche-sur-Mer where terracotta rooftops and the sparkling bay presented a postcard-perfect view. The hillside trails guided us toward Mediterranean views that allowed them to enjoy the light breezes and peacefulness that comes from being elevated above the tourist crowds. The path continued to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, where they discovered hidden areas and cliffside observation points,s which provided them with peaceful time to share and enjoy each other’s company. The experience focused on feeling rather than posing as they walked through the Riviera with love and anticipation guiding their view.
Their vows exchange, overlooking Eze top and the 180° view over the French Riviera, was nothing short of magical, so emotional and meaningful!

The evening ended with a romantic picnic on a secluded hilltop where the entire French Riviera lay beneath them. The sunset painted the sky with gentle golden and pink hues while they raised their glasses to celebrate their elopement and their past journey and their upcoming addition to their family.
The elopement experience became a meaningful day which combined natural beauty with special memories that would accompany them into their future family life.
