Day 142 : Travel from Lyon to Nice via Montpellier

While on route towards Nice, Giorgio (my friend in Monaco), dropped a text message to check if I was in Montpellier or already in Nice

I was originally going to spent a couple days in Montpellier first before making my way towards the French Riviera and changed my plans when I heard about the carnivals in Nice and Menton

That probably explained the higher than usual security John and I encountered when we went to the train station in Lyon!
