From Roquebrune we decided to drop down to the coast and make our way back to Nice. We drove Cap Martin and stopped to look at the waves as they crashed against the rocks. Then made our way to cap Ferrat, just outside Nice. Our intention was to just drive around the peninsula to take in some nice views of the ocean but we came across the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild and decided to stop and take a look. One of the best decisions we made on the trip we had a lovely time wandering through the fantastic gardens. Each garden was highly planned and decorated and represented a different country or region including Provence, Spain, Japan as well as a stone garden and an exotic garden. The largest of the gardens was the formal French garden where the many fountains were choreographed to accompany classical music. It was a fantastic setting and an amazing display. After visiting the gardens we toured the house. The audio guide was extremely thorough and interesting but unfortunately we had to rush through much of it as we were running short on time. We left just as the villa was closing and the sun setting and made our way back to Nice and managed to thread our way through the city with minimal fuss and make it to the airport in good time.
