On August 24, 2014, the Europe bus tour brought me to France, resulting in the visit of my 13th country. I would briefly head into Monaco (the 14th country) for a few hours, before spending a night in NIce:
This made it my:
- 7th European country
- 1st time in France
The Mediterranean beaches in Nice were nice (pun intended) and to see palm trees in Europe was quite something! I had some escargots at a restaurant that I later felt was designed for large tour groups. Nevertheless, I actually enjoyed eating the snails!
I didn't visit any concrete buildings or places in Nice but instead made it a pleasant walk on the beach. My first experience of France was far from disappointing!
