Nice is... nice!

So after Paris we made our way to Nice. Elaina said we could go because she knew how badly I wanted to see Monaco. Monaco neighbors Nice (15 minutes by train) and is a small principality just south of France on what is called the French Riveria. Monaco gets all the glits and glam but Nice is very much a gem in it's own right.

Here's the view from our room. It's not much but it is still more than we need. I'm gearing up for what's in store tomorrow in Monaco.


Down at the main shopping area near the water front. The city is very clean and looks like it's been updated recently.


Now down at the water, it's still pretty chilly but we have our baguette, wine, and cheese in hand. Hey, this is still France so we're gonna make the most of it.


Just people watching and enjoying our time. The beach is beautiful but it's all pebbles? They seem to lack sand beaches here.


The city tram that you can ride all day for 4 euro, not a bad deal at all. We liked how they planted grass along the tracks to give it a less urban feel when the tram is not around.


For SOME of us a walk in the park means something different. I still love her though!


Cool building all lit up at night.

Nice was great and we're so glad we were able to enjoy it. I would reccomend it to everybody when in the south of France.
