Day 3: Monacco

Today is a long day, full of things to see and do! Our destination is Monaco. It is approximately a 2.5 hour drive from Nice. We will be taking the A8 scenic route as we drive, to ensure that we get to see the

St. Jean-Cap Ferrat

beautiful views of the coast line, and occasionally stop to snap some photos. En route, we will pass a city known as St. Jean-Cap-Ferrat. It is a peninsula, and a hot spot for people to come park their yachts.
The second stop is the city of Eze. It is perched on a high cliff, right on the coastal line. We will stop here,stretch our legs and eat lunch at one of the castles outdoor restaurants, overlooking the magnificent views.

Eze Village

We will walk around Eze village, return to the car and head to  Monaco. Once in Monaco sites that we want to see are: Jardin Exotique; an exotic plant/flower outdoor garden, the Monaco harbor and the old city. I am not one to gamble, but if I feel like taking a walk on the wild side, I will stop by the Monte Carlo Bay Casino and play a few rounds of blackjack. Dinner tonight is at a restaurant called "New Indien."It is an authentic Indian restaurant with honest prices within the posh city of Monaco.  After dinner, we will drive back to Nice while enjoying the beautiful sunset.
