France Day 3

Tourists are attracted to the French Riviera because of the natural beauty and climate. Our first stop at the 13th-century village of Eze also showed us the charm that is southern France. Most students took a photo in front of a quaint flower shop. We also toured the perfume factory of Fragonard and learned the process used to create more than 300 fragrances. Students now know the primary difference between eau de toilet and genuine perfume: price!

Several hairpin turns later (4 students needed doggy bags) we arrived at the seaside principality of Monaco. We were just in time to see the changing of the guard and then everyone was free to grab lunch. We headed next to Nice for a walking tour. The travelers had time to shop and eat one of one hundred flavors of ice cream at the popular Fenocchios. Dinner was also in Nice and one of the busses experienced a French supermarket called Casino. (City halls are called hotels. It can be a little confusing!) The students are doing a great job of taking lots of pictures...we can only hope some of the photos make it home and do not all end up on Snapchat! Bonne nuit!
