While Jessica took the girls to the beach this morning, I took the quick seaside train ride over to the small country of Monaco. I spent a few hours doing a walking tour of this small county, which dramatically tumbles down the hillsides into the sea. There is plenty of yacht gawking and beautiful view points here.
I also walked around the palace, which continues to be the prince’s residents.
To finish, I toured through Monaco’s central cathedral, which includes centuries of Monaco royalty buried around the back of the transept, including Grace Kelly.
For the afternoon, we had fun exploring Nice. We found one of the gelato shops that makes the flower cone (one of the to-do’s on Jessica’s list).
Then we took a boat cruise around the bay off of Nice. We were able to see some of the neighboring beaches and villages, as well as some of the mega villas that super stars like Elton John and Sean Connery have built there.
We ended the day picnicking on the train and watching the views back to Paris.
