French Riviera

Next stop was the French RIviera and Monaco.  We left base at 1130pm on a Friday night and got back on Sunday night around midnight.

Our first stop was in Eze, France, where we went through a perfume factory and explored the town.

We had a great day, it was busy, but fun!  One thing we learned is that France smells like urine…The line I said probably 25 times while we were there, “Smells like piss.”  Laura would follow up with, “Everywhere.”  Could be worse I suppose.  It was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL place though, so that made up for the smells!
