Day 5: June 27, 2024
Today we explored the Cote d'Azur region of France, starting off with a visit to Fragonard perfumery in Eze. We learned a lot about the origins of the perfume industry and also about how perfumes, cosmetics and soaps are made here in the factory. After sampling the perfumes everybody had a chance to shop and then we got back on the coach and drove to Monaco. In Monaco we had a short walking tour of Le Rocher, the old town, and saw a view of the harbour before watching the changing of the guards in front of the Prince's Palace. We had some free time for lunch then drove to Nice. In Nice we visited some sights in the beautiful old town such as the Opera house, market square and the Cathedral, and then most people went to the beach for a swim in the Mediterranean sea. We drove back to the village where we were staying to have dinner and a walk then headed back to the hotel to pack our bags, ready to drive to Italy tomorrow!
