On Friday 27th October, 16 Rotarians (including partners) departed from Stanstead Airport for the short flight to Nice. The flight arrived at 10am local time and we were met by fellow Rotarians from the Nice club and shown to our accommodation. Afterwards, there was time to have a look around Nice. In the evening, there was a reception & food at the villa of Françoise Busuttill.
