Nice...from the moment we flew into Nice over that incredible expanse of blue water we knew we were in for something special. Nice is such a city of contrasts from the incredibly long stretch of promenade running along side the beach to the port area housing a thousand yachts to the older quarter where you will find a patisserie on every corner! As they say, Nice is the capital of the French Riviera and it lead us to other great places all within such short distances. I must say our visit to Nice's famous Cours Sayar market, housing fresh flowers and local produce was outstanding...
Eze...small and quaint but with a whole lot of charm the town of Ezekiel was something special. Only needing a couple of hours there one cannot leave without visiting the stunning gardens, perched high up on the hill with a spectacular view...
Monaco...glitz, glamour and one of the hottest places to be seen on the French Riviera! As soon as you arrive in this dazzling city you are overwhelmed by what this fantasy land has to offer. As you walk from store to store...Valentino, Prada, Gucci, Hermes and Chanel, the list goes on...you realise if one had money this is where you come to holiday! When visiting Monaco one cannot go past stepping inside the magnificent Monte Carlo casino followed by some incredible people (and car) watching at Cafe de Paris...
Antibes...only a short train ride away from Nice, the town of Antibes was another great find that had so many winding streets that you have to get lost in. Beautiful beaches, a port again filled with the largest boats we have ever seen, one with its private helicopter on the back, and an incredible sculpture overlooking the water only added to its charm...
Cannes...where talent is born at the Cannes film festival! One must go to Cannes simply to have their photograph taken on the stairs of the auditorium that has seen the great stars o Hollywood filter through over the years...
