Day 8: July 22, 2015
Nice is the 5th biggest city of France.Situated on the mediterrenean sea, it is the most popular seaside destination of this country.It is a very laid back place, and sure it is a perfect place to relax.We left the hotel this morning and took a drive towards Eze, a medieval perched village.It is here that we visited the Fragonard perfum factory.Infact this region is well know for the flower growing,from which they make essences.A guide took the group through the museum and showed them how to make essences from flowers.We then continued our drive to the Principality of Monaco,ruled by the Grimaldi family since 1308.It is in the streets of Monaco that the formula 1 Grand Prix takes place every year. We got to walk pass St.Nicholas Church(where the Grimaldi's family is buried)and reached the Prince's Palace. The group had some free time for lunch and to explore....and to gamble at the casino of Montecarlo.
we then drove back to Nice,for free time!
We met again for our farewell dinner
Bonne nuit
