Day 5: March 11, 2025
We woke up to the sunshine and sea breeze of Nice, ready for another exciting day. Breakfast at the hotel was a feast—fresh croissants, fruit, and hot chocolate. With full stomachs and high spirits, we hopped onto our bus for a scenic ride along the breathtaking Moyenne Corniche. The winding road gave us incredible views of the Mediterranean, cliffs, and charming villages perched on the hills.
Our first stop was Èze, a medieval hilltop village famous for its perfume. We visited a traditional perfume factory, where we learned about the art of fragrance-making and even got to test different scents. Some of us bought tiny bottles as souvenirs.
Next, we arrived in the glamorous Monaco. Walking through the streets, we saw luxury cars, fancy yachts, and the stunning Prince’s Palace and took in the views over the harbor. It felt surreal to be in such a tiny yet extravagant country!
Back in Nice, we had free time to explore. Some of us went shopping for souvenirs along the colorful streets, while others couldn’t resist heading to the beach. We rolled up our jeans, took off our shoes, and dipped our feet in the cool, crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The feeling was pure bliss! As the sun started to set, we walked along the Promenade des Anglais, taking in the relaxed Riviera atmosphere. Another unforgettable day in France had come to an end, and we couldn’t wait for more adventures ahead!
