Nice, France Travel Blogs

... medication and a good lie-down. We were turned away from a couple more places that were chockers before finding a very nice (but costly) B&B. Vienna turned out to be very ornate, a great city for walking and taking happy-snaps. We sampled several ...

... 't suggest renting it. It's definitely not a date movie, that's for sure. Late night we made soup again, this time with sandwiches. Nice has been a great experience, But I don't think I'll need to come back. I can get the same experience somewhere in the ...

Nice is the capital of the Riviera and the beautiful Cote d Azur. When people speak of ¨taking the South of France option¨ when terminally ill you can see why. We had visited Nice for 5 days in 1999 but it will always be a great place to visit. The food is ...

In the heart of the French Riviera lies Nice a smallish city with a population of approximately 350,000 people. The highlight of Nice definitely seems to be its long stretches of pebbled beaches filled with sun lovers. The beaches are periodically divided ...

... I feel that if I am on holidays, I would prefer to spend time with people who are easy going, or to spend time alone. Nice has a very pretty coastline and great food (though expensive), but I grew a little bored of it. If I had the benefit of hindsight ...

Bonjour! Je suis a Nice, et c''est magnifique!  Nice is the perfect place to have in the middle of travelling because it is like a Mexican resort minus the mexicans and garbage.  All I have been doing is laying on the beach and talking to ...

... It didn't take Nice long to bounce back, and the bohemian jet set soon returned. When Algeria negotiated its independence from France in 1962, Nice's population was further boosted by an influx of refugees from North Africa. In the 1980s and early '90s ...

... they had sent us new ones. We explained that we would have problems getting them, and activating them. They listened, and gave us an extention. After an egg McMuffin, we were off. Nice was only a stop over, to get to Spain, but a "nice" one at that.

Today we took a train to Nice, France. We had no clue what was in store for us there. All we knew was that there was a beautiful park & a waterfall overlooking the city and beaches. The entire main boulevard was under contradiction from the train ...

Got the train from Milan, the journey was relatively uneventful. Stayed at a hostel close the the beach. Spent alot of time at the beach. The old town. There are a couple of good Mueseums there which are free to enter, I went to Matisse and MAMAC. ...

Enjoyed Nice and Cannes... Too busy relaxing to bother posting much, but here are some photos! : )

... As an Australian, one thing that I thought was really cool was the single gumtree that's been planted at one of the highest points! Nice was definitely one of the most expensive places we've stayed at too. We had a Vietnamese meal, which cost a little ...

Here in South France. Great area, beats the hell out of Naples. Just posted a ton of new pics from the last week. -Ray

Thanks to the hospitality of our friends David and Bunny, we were able to stay in a beautiful apartment in Nice and live much like the Nicoise do (except with better driving).  We were in a great neighborhood with a view of the ocean from our balcony ...

... of Ipanema in Rio, but with no sand or bikini tops. I guess you take the good with the bad. Our 2-star hotel here in Nice is actually great, centrally located to the city, nightlife, and a 10-minute walk to the beach. It was nice today not having to ...

... said this before I am probably starting to sound like a creep, but the women here are out of this world. Every place in France has beautiful girls but this far exceeds anything I have ever experienced. With that said, I'll get back to how Nice is. It ...
