MONACO is an ancient principality steeped in rich and colorful history. Its proud monarchy is presided over by Prince Albert II. Today it has a modern skyline and covers less than one square mile. It is the size of 1/2 of Central Park in NYC. It has a breathtaking sea, a fantasyland-style palace, a nail-biting Grand Prix, no taxes and a world-famous casino. It is truly regarded by all as the gem of the Mediterranean.
Our delightful 1/2 day excursion took us to the dazzling Nice and medieval Eze. Nice, often referred to as the "Queen of the Riviera" is a beautiful city. We strolled along Cours Saleya, an elegant promenade lined with palm trees and bordered by inviting shops and visited an enticing flower market.
Next, we traveled to the quaint village of Eze, perched atop a rugged peak high above the Mediterranean and climbed to the town's medieval castle and browsed through the town's unique shops.
The day was NICE AND EASY!!
Back to the ship for lunch and then a shuttle to town and a visit to the Grand Casino with a peek inside. Jackets are recommeded and we had none. Nancy went to the Prada Store.
