I would have been happy to stay in Ville Franche, but when the boys realized we were so close to Monte Carlo, it was a forgone conclusion that this would be our destination, especially finding out that it was very easy to catch the local train.
Ville Franche early in the morning.

The view of Monte Carlo, not far from the Grimaldi Palace, where Grace Kelly lived, after marrying Prince Rainier.
Patricia a girl from San Paolo, Brazil, living and studying in Reims, France. We met Patricia on the train going to Monaco. She spoke French and had already worked out the local bus to ride around Monaco. She stayed with us the whole time we were there on our whirl wind visit and shepherded us around. I even got to mail myself a card from the Post Office there.
