Then Anne and I headed for Monaco, the 1 mile square principality was mindblowingly opulent. The Museum of Oceanography was an imposing building. From here we started our little train tour which showed us the major points of the city. At the port there were hundreds of luxurious yachts. Anne said there were more than usual due to the fact that there was a yacht show on. We considered dropping in and putting a couple on order. We particularly liked the ones with the helipads! Our tour stopped at the royal palace. The flag flying signalled that Prince Albert II was in residence.

We enjoyed a lovely pizza lunch in a little café near the palace and then we headed for another village perched on top of a hill called Èze. As in previous day's exploring the Provençal countryside, we climbed and descended little streets which oozed charm.
Our last stop was the “beach” in Nice. We sat on the edge and looked out to the Mediterranean Sea. It’s easy to see why this area is called the Côte d’Azur; the water looks almost artificially blue.
