Cannes, France – November 22 SUNDAY
We signed up for a shore excursion going to Nice, France and Monaco. The bus dropped us in Nice first and we walked around the old quarter in Nice. Had lunch at an outdoor, very smoky café with delicious crepes. Did some shopping at the wonderful flower market. Reboarded the bus for the drive to Monaco. We departed the bus in a parking garage under the Palace in Monaco and went upstairs. Toured all the gardens and grounds of the Palace, souvenir shops, etc. and took the small train that takes you from the Palace grounds down into Monte Carlo along all the expensive shops, the roads used by the racing cars, the casino (dress code and entry fee) and then back up to the palace. This was the only place it was really very cold atop the hill where the Palace sits.
