This morning we hop over the border into France to the ancient fortified hilltop village of Èze. We will then enjoy this amazingly pretty town. We then continue to the Principality of Monaco, situated in a sunspot on the Mediterranean coast. Monaco, and its famous inner Monte Carlo district, has long been a playground for the fabulously rich and famous. In stark contrast to the gleaming affluence, the south side of the port has a picturesque old town with narrow, medieval alleyways and historic buildings to explore, so we can enjoy both the modern and ancient parts of this buzzing country. We then return back to our hotel for evening at leisure

This morning we visit Ventimiglia. It has the remains of a Roman theatre and baths, and the stunning Hanbury Botanical Gardens, where walking paths snake through 45 acres of plants, buildings and fountains.
