Were back in France!
Today we journeyed into beautiful Nice for a lovely day of relaxing in the sun. And by relaxing, of course I mean walking. Were always walking.
We had the chance in the morning to visit the Fagonard Perfurmery and got to see how perfume is made, and of course I splurged on two bottles of amazing French perfume. I held out for the perfect souvenir from France!
Then we carried on to find crepes and gelato, and had the best gelato I've ever had in my life (did you know there's such a thing as speculos ice cream?!) and some delicious fresh savory crepes.
Nice has this amazing viewpoint you can climb up (or take a lift up if you don't want to walk) and see over the entire area, and we spent a good hour staring at the beauty that is Nice. I don't think any of us really wanted to climb back down but it was almost 23 degrees and the beach was right there so we tredged on.
Later in the evening (at 8pm) we hopped on the coach and drove down to Monacco for the evening. Just a little back story in case any of you don't know (I certainly didn't), Monacco is considered the richest country in the world. Rumor has it there's no taxes, so you have go pay millions to become a resident and live on rich turf. Walking through the streets in a dress from Dynamite and shoes from H&M I felt super out of place, but it was pretty cool to see the palace and the Monte Carlo and eat McDonalds like peasants in the richest place in the world (we weren't about to pay over €100 per plate thank you very much). I didn't bring my camera to avoid looking like the worlds biggest tourist amungst the rich (although I really wanted to take a picture of George Clooneys yacht) but I'll see what I can steal from Facebook.
Nice taught me to try new things (frogs legs are delicious) and was definitely one of the nicest places we went in France.
Now to Italy!
