Description
On the front page of a Greek newspaper we see the date "Saturday, August 19, 1978". Afterwards, we are at Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, an international airport in Nice, France, where we watch the passengers disembark from an Air France flight that has just arrived.

Nice is the fifth largest city in France, located between the southeast coast of France on the Mediterranean Sea (French Riviera) and near the Alps.

The members of the filmmaker's group put their luggage in a car, board on it and follow the Promenade des Anglais, on the Mediterranean side. Alongside the road, we see the verdant landscape, mostly of palm trees, but also masts with French flags.

The group of friends arrives in Monte Carlo, Monaco and the filmmaker gives us shots from the historic Hôtel de Paris, from the carved inscription of its name on the marble facade, but also details of its elaborate architecture.

A skyscraper and a park with exotic plants, flowers in formations and tall trees, in the Casino Square.

A visit in the beach with hundreds of swimmers, of all ages.
