I got to spend a whole week in Nice with my good friend Delilah from London and the 2 remaining members of the awesome foursome, plus their lovely friend Barbara! Also had a chance to make day trips to Monaco, Cannes and St Tropez!
Highlights...
Visiting the Monte Carlo casino in Monaco and doubling my money (a whopping 5 euro initial investment) then blowing it all and walking away with a claim voucher for .13 euro cents! No I didn't claim!
Cannes was amazing, the beaches actually had sand and the town had a cool vibe and is home to quite a few super clubs!
St Tropez... Was a mega waste of the 50 euro transport cost to get there... Unless you're staying in St Tropez don't attempt a day trip... So not worth it when you spend 7 hours in transit just to get there, because the public transport is practically non-existent! They did have an AMAZING Chanel
boutique in an estate building with a garden and pool out the back of the boutique, that almost made the trip worth it...
And finally Nice was brilliant! Loved getting lost in the streets of the Old Town and soaking up some rays on the beach from my 17 euro sun bed I hired... The most expensive sun bed hire so far... Ios was cheapest at 6 euro for 2pp, Santorini comes in next at 9 euro for 2pp, Monterosso al Mare was 23 euro for 2pp, but Nice tops the lot at 17 euro for ONE person... And that was with a hotel discount! It was however the most comfy sun bed ever!
Best dinner at Lou Pilla Leva in Nice Old Town... Moules avec frites @ 8 euros!
Nice at night...
Socca a region specialty... Best description... It's a chickpea crepe
Mmmm moules avec frites...
I had at least 1, but the average was 4 Macarons each day... And at least 1 croissant! When in in France...
My swish hotel...
