Day 4: Grasse, St. Paul De Vence and (ughh) Monaco

Misterpiggy said au revoir to the Escale Oceana hotel and he was transported to Grasse where he visited the famous Fragonard Perfumery, where he learned how perfumes and soaps were made.

While everyone was shopping, he took some pictures in the little garden outside.

Marie handed out some free perfume samples on the bus, but piggy didn't want any cuz he smelled fine just the way he was.

The next stop on the day's tour was the medieval hilltop village known as St. Paul de Vence.  Misterpiggy visited lots of artist shops and enjoyed the great views.

In the afternoon, he visited Monte Carlo in the principality of Monaco. 

They didn't permit cameras in the casino and piggy was stuffily denied entry to the nice hotels, so for about two hours misterpiggy hung around and watched people watching each other.    Had he known, he would have headed back down to the waterfront to take more pics.

Misterpiggy thought that there were too many people with too much money and too much time who liked to drive around and around in front of the casino to show off their fancy cars and rev their engines. All of this was a bit nauseating to misterpiggy and he was very happy to leave this human zoo.

Later that evening, misterpiggy arrived in Nice, where he stayed two nights at the very regal looking  Boscolo Plaza Hotel.

Here is Misterpiggy's review of the Boscolo Plaza hotel in Nice.

 The Trafalgar highlight dinner was held at a nearby restaurant where he enjoyed a roast beef dinner.
