Hosts Julie Conover & Mark Jennings get a different perspective on the land of ritz and glitz from a hanglider, high in the mountains above Antibes, a 4×4 trip through the Maritime Alps and a parasailing ride over the glamorous Riviera. To experience the authentic culture of the region, Mark & Julie hang out with locals in the Moorish walled city of Ramatuelle and the ranches of the Camargue, famous for their white horses. From the seaport of Cassis, they board a ferry to tour the coastline where they discover rock climbers clinging to the walls of the calanques (fjords), and visit the picturesque seaport of Villefranche.
