| Palace of Monaco |
Yesterday, I visited Monaco and Eze. It was my third time to Monaco, as I had already been there for photography twice before. To begin our day, we visited the Palace of Monaco. Each room was its own master piece, decorated with intricate designs and painted with rich colors. After the tour, we walked down to an aquarium. The aquarium reflected sea life in the riviera, so I found it interesting to see all the sea creatures that exist in the area.

My highlight of the day (if not trip) was Eze. We visited a perfumery where they make perfumes, lotions and soaps. The perfumery was split into two sections: a shop and a factory. The factory is now used for touring purposes, but it clearly shows the process of how the perfumes are made. After touring the factory, we were set free to roam the shop. I was most interested in smelling different perfume samples and soaps.
The perfumery is located right below the town of Eze. Eze itself is tucked into a mountain. It was one of the most pretty towns I have ever seen because it truly maintained its old, european charm. There were little boutiques hidden in nearly ever corner, and great cafes throughout the village. I bought freshly squeezed orange juice and homemade sugared almonds. My favorite part of the entire day was the garden that overlooked the riviera. The view was amazing. I could see all the way to the Nice Airport located far up the riviera. The garden
reminded me of one I would see in a desert. There were many cactuses and dry grasses, but also beautiful wild flowers. Narrow steps and balconies wove through the garden. Because it gets to be so hot, there were mist showers around the garden that sprayed a cool, refreshing mist into the air. Eze will definitely remain one of my most favorite highlights of France!
