Our tour was called "Country Roads of France". After a beautiful start to the day in Grenoble we traveled on two lane roads through a gorgeous rural part of southeastern France. Our driver was awesome!
We finished the day by checking into a two night stay at our hotel right on the Mediterranean in Nice, with a great view of the deep blue waters of the Cote d’Azur. This coastline was one of the first modern resort areas. It began as a winter health resort for the British upper class at the end of the 18th century. With the arrival of the railway in the mid-19th century, it became the playground and vacation spot of British, Russian, and other aristocrats, such as Queen Victoria and King Edward VII. After World War II, it became a popular tourist destination and convention site.
