Day 7: July 15, 2014
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 in Grasse this morning and took a drive to Nice......
We took a very nice walking tour of the picturesque old Nice, then through the public park, and to Place Massena.It was great!Of course.....some free time followed,giving the group the chance to explore....swim and shop!
After lunch Fabio drove us 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, then dinner...and back to the hotel.
what a great day again!
Bonne nuit
