Eze, Villefranche

We've become used to amazing experiences every single day... yesterday was certainly no exception!

The Parfumerie Fragonard revealed the secrets of making perfume and we were all very quick to buy presents for those we miss from home. A few fun facts included the explanation of 'the nose.' There are only 120 'noses' in the world, most in France and they develop all the new perfume flavours. It takes 6-8 months to develop new fragrances and a 'nose' can only work 3 hours a day. If any thinks they're able to distinguish between a broad range of scents - maybe you can become a nose!

Villefranche was superbe, the Rue Obsure - an underground road - dates back to the 13th century and we were quite easily taken back to another time as we walked the streets. The beauty and intrigue is not lost on us whatsoever.

Enjoy the photos!


That's un œuf! Mr Kasbergen's joke of the day!
