Golden path - VIP TOUR.
This is probably the main goal that a one day turist has on mind. Sharing the same ballroom with Paris Hilton could have its thrill.

14- Le Voile Rouge: both you've arrived on big yacht, there's a pier, and on board of a helicopter, there's also that convenience, you'll have to pay cash. Sly has appreciated it a lot.

16 - Nikki Beach: it's not easy to explain
Silver path- ARTISTIC TOUR
Not so edonistic like the golden path, it has been thought for people looking for smooth and refined sensations, relax, and a scenic site: the perfume of a coffee at sunrise, the bliss to be in the place where Picasso painted the "Odalisque"
