| We had the pleasure to spend seven nights (courtesy of Marriott Rewards Program) FREE on the French Riviera Cap d'Ail France (just east of Nice...is within walking distance of Monaco--literally the soccer stadium is across the street) We spent our days in Antibes, Nice, Cannes, Grasse, Monaco...all within easy driving |
| We had the pleasure to stay at the Marriott in Cap d'Ail We normally would not have splurged on such a nice hotel...however, we cashed in our Marriott Reward Points for a seven night FREE stay. At $350.00 per room (and we had two rooms) we had a great deal. We couldn't even afford the breakfast (at $125 for five people) so we scouted out the local grocery store and had picnics on our balcony. |
| Fontvieille a little port at the base of Monaco (Prince Albert's yellow castle can be seen on the hill) Nearby here is an excellent Italian Restuarant that we ate at three times during our stay. |
| The Beach at Cap d'Ail Beach is rocky. Bring water shoes. |
| Our first day in the French Riviera We spend the morning at the beach. In the afternoon, we explored the Musee de l'Oceanographique (Jacque Cousteau Aquarium) In the evening, we dined in Fontvieille |
