Day 3: March 9, 2025
We had a lovely day exploring the Cote d'Azur this morning. After breakfast in our hotel where we sampled some local products including meats, cheeses and even lavender flavoured jam, we set off for Monaco, our second country of the tour! We had a walking tour of Le Rocher, the oldest part of the city, where we saw the Oceanographic Museum, the Cathedral, and the Prince's Palace in time for the changing of the guards, finishing up at a viewpoint for a lovely view of the harbour and Montecarlo below. After some free time to explore and have lunch, we got back on the coach and drove along the coast to Èze, a beautiful medieval village. We had a guided tour of Fragonard perfumery and had a chance to sample their products and do some shopping. Then we returned to Nice and hid from the rain, taking refuge in shops or cafés, until dinner time. Tonight we are packing our bags, ready for the journey to Italy tomorrow!
