French Riviera

NICE

After travelling around Ireland for 9 days we headed off to sunny Nice to meet up with Jill & Denis.

We had a great time exploring the city and dining in some good restaurants. When you are away from home for as long as we have been, it is nice to see some familiar faces.






We took the train from Nice to Monaco and spent a day looking around Monaco & Monte Carlo.
It is a very expensive area - we certainly couldn't afford to buy a flat here with prices around 4 million euro for a 67 sq metres flat.
Monte Carlo




Principality of Monaco

Less than 2 square km in size it is the mostly densely populated country in the world. We didn't see any of the royal family but did a tour of the palace and watched the changing of the Guard in front of the palace.
