Linda G planned ahead and booked us a tour of Cannes, Nice, Monaco and Monte Carlo with Dream Tours and it was a really great choice. After tendering to the dock in Cannes, 9 of us piled into the Mercedes Limo for our tour of Villefranche.
The tour was booked for 8 of us, but Pam hitched a ride into Nice so that she could find a special restaurant that she had visited the last time she was there. She had been dreaming about it and was lucky enough to find it again and was not disappointed.
Fred, our driver and tour guide, drove us past the palace of the Cannes Film Festival. It had just been held and they were busy taking down the barriers. We then drove directly to Nice and made a stop at the central market. What a beautiful place early in the morning! Vendors were setting up their stands, painting beautiful pictures, displaying their goods and cooking wonderful dishes for sampling. Burt Wolf, who has produced many, many travel segments for various tv networks, was in the market filming one of his segments. We talked to him and Linda C. had her picture taken with him.
