Grasse, Gorges du Verdon, Aiguines
Today, we meet for breakfast at 8:00 AM and at 9:00 we leave Nice to go to Grasse. Grasse is a village were perfume factories are located. We tour "Fragonard" perfume factory. There we learn how perfume is made now and the way it use to be made. Also, the showroom was great because you could purchase perfumes. There was a costume museum of Provence dress. The village was so quaint. We were on our own after the tour until 1:00 PM.
Then off to see Gorges du Verdon, France’s Grand Canyon. This trip made me a little bet nervous, no guardrails along the narrow road. I was setting on the side of the bus and all I could see was a bottomless pit. The weather is overcast and some light showers. After an afternoon of driving around the gorges, we were glad to see our hotel in Aiguines. The hotel was nice but small, we had to divide the group between the towns two hotels. Our dinner was a white fish with white butter sauce, salad, asparagus and chocolate mouse for dessert along with wine. It was very delicous.
