Antibes, Nice and Monaco sailing Cote d’Azur exploring the high life
Sailing the Cote d’Azur Nice to Monaco, rubbing fenders with swanky boats and exploring family history. House of Grimaldi v House of Savoy v France v Italy, Sardinia and Corsica – its a melting pot area which everyone wanted a piece of at some time since the stone age. We find out why. Not much sailing, plenty of sightseeing and some downtime – it’s almost a holiday before the cross border frustration. Grimaldi, Savoy, Grace Kelly, Formula 1 and a lot of walking!
