NICE

       

We flew into Nice to start our Rick Steves tour of eastern(?) France.

Don’t tell Sally how much I paid for the cab!

(I wanted to make it look like I could get us around this country!)

 

Hotel St Georges had a great little garden and informal reception.

We did get our first taste of small hotel rooms and croissants!

 

We took a nice walking tour of Vieux (Old) Nice.

Toni & Alan took us all out for our first dinner.

 

On our own, we had to search for the Matisse Museum.

Remember the heat and following after people?

 

We had our first big adventure, daring to take the train to…

Yes, we left Nice on our own!

Villefranche-sur-mer & Monaco

The hike up the hill to the palace was just our ‘speed’.

And at least we can say we made it to Monte Carlo.

 

P.S. You’ll have to excuse my attempt at a translation of Charles Trenet’s Le Mer

(Bobby Darin called it: Beyond the Sea – Very different lyrics)
