Best Western Bahia Vista Villefranche-sur-Mer

We have booked our apartment for two weeks  http://www.rivieraexperience.com/Beach frontBlissBrochure.pdf<br><br>Looking for ideas of what to do (besides go to the beach!). We are definitely travelling to Monaco for one day, and Nice for a day, but are interested in ideas from people who have been here.

... the local bar and settled in for a few drinks and complimentary tapas.<br><br>Wed 11 Nov<br>Riva Ligura even better in the sunlight had a pretty little piazza and church which had a beautiful painted interior - much unexpected by us. The novalty factor was it had automatic sliding doors!

After brekkie it was onto Menton which is a lovely little town just before the Italian border. Menton is a much more down to earth place than its neighbours and more our scene. We found a park right on the beach and went for a wander and took in sum much needed sun. Next stop Italia!!<br>

Up early as it was a spectacular sunrise - full of pinks and organges. We wanted to hit McWifi before we entered Italy but we did not find one until later in the day in Menton. Before that we drove the coast road through Nice and Monte Carlo, both concrete ...

... wine bottle and then we thought they were off on the trail, but no they got in the car and drove on! <br> At the end of the gorge we joined the road towards Cannes, which was route Napoleon, orginially created by him as a pass through the mountains...very windy. Our destination for the evening was Grasse where we found a good park overlooking the city lights and our first view of the Med.

... br><br>Today's Royal itinerary takes us on a tour of Monaco, including old Monaco and the Royal Palace. It's uncertain whether the schedules of Prince Albert or Princess Caroline will allow for a meeting with Princess Lesia but our respective public relations staff are working on it!<br><br>The tour of Monaco-Ville, also known as Old Monaco included a walk through the narrow streets that once ...

Hi, it's Aaron. Sorry it has taken so long to write. Slacktown (Bonnie) hasn't had the energy to tell the world about our most recent experiences. Not to fret... Running for cover(s)... As Bonnie wrote last, we were starting to feel the "pressures" of being in school again (especially one that is at the top of a hill and and full of hacking/coughing foreigners). We tried to get some needed rest on Saturday, but I was absolutely disillusioned about our living ...

... HW, but I did like the little girl scout that I am (actually, I hated brownies and quit after one week, but you get the point). I was pleased to see that I got it all right because there was some discussion before class about the way to answer some of them, so being right helped to raise my confidence. Today classes were good because they were a departure from the ordinary. Our normal teacher was out, so we had a ...

... it wasn't as good as I remembered it. It was really smokey, and a little strong. it would've been great with some fresh fruit...maybe a tart apple. I'll experiment. Ooo, grapes would be good too. Anyway, we just chilled, did laundry, read our ebooks and napped a little until time to venture forth for dinner. We went down to the port and stopped in a place near the dock for dinner. It sucked, but now we know not to go back! :) It was actually the ...

... the sea. It is easy to see why this is the azure coast. The sea was turquoise blue and many people were enjoying the water and the rocky beach here. Found the signs leading to Villefranche and were there so quickly that we got to the meeting spot ahead of Marg. However, she was not long in coming and she then took us to the hotel at the port. After that it was back to the cafe to wait for Brent over a ...
