Home base?
A must see in the area?
Nice has the most amazing water front and beaches. The beaches stretch on for miles parallel to the Promenade des Anglais, where you can enjoy great restaurants and some fun people watching.
A must see in Nice is Carnival. Carnival in Nice takes place in February for a few weeks, the last day of Carnival always ends on Mardi Gras. The floats were amazing.
Another must visit in the area is Monaco. It’s about a 30 minute drive from Nice. A visit to the Prince’s Palace of Monaco is a must. The changing of the guards takes place each day at 11:55 AM., and is a big hit for the kids.
If you get a chance, stroll by the parking lots near by, boat and car, they are pretty fun to look at. The French Riviera has so much to offer besides it’s enjoyable climate. It’s an area I could go back to again and again, much more relaxing and slower paced then some of the big European cities.
We are thinking of going to France in the Fall, so keep the French posts coming! I've been twice, but it's been awhile and my husband has never been.
Julie, this would be incredibly helpful to someone planning a Nice trip! All you have to do is compile these pages and throw in a few funny and/or challenging stories and voilla….your bbok!
