Prayers to the families on this sad day in the south of France.
Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Nice Tried to see this last year but it was enclosed in plastic for renovation. Had a blast hosting Lisa over Carnival!
Stayed in a funky artsy flat in the old village of Nice with a view of the cathedral. We ate well, sampled every limoncello stand at the citrus festival and are still finding confetti from Carnival. You can see all the pics at: http://www.imagesbyjes.com/Travel/EUROPE-FRANCE-FRENCH-RIVIERA/ Location: Nice, Menton, Antibes, Saint Paul de Vence Sights: Vieille Ville Nice, Castle Hill, Cathedral Sainte-Réparate, 83th Fête du Citron, Carnival-King of media theme, Cap d'Antibes trail and St. Paul de Vence hilltop village Favorite food: socca, fresh pasta and gnocchi, crepes, risotto, scallop carpaccio, tropezienne cake and amaretti cookies. Having a pint of Christmas Cheer! Hmmm...interesting snow globe effect! Plaza Massena water park transformed at Christmas.
Our Airbnb rental in Villeneuve Loubet, just outside Nice. Located just down the street from where Auguste Escoffier was born. You can read more about him at: http://www.escoffier-society.com/biography.php Eze - a very cute but touristy village between Nice and Monaco. Fun travel day, all went smoothly via: car to the train, train to the bus, bus to the plane, rental car to our final destination. Love exploring new areas! When you come to NICE (U know U want 2) take Bus 81, €5.00 for all day hop on/off pass. Tour the coastal towns out to Saint Jean Cap Ferrat peninsula...fantastique! We enjoyed the 82nd annual citrus festival about 30 minutes west of Nice, just past Monaco. Citron is a large lemon grown in this region with a super thick rind. The fruit is used for jam and luckily for us the rind makes excellent Limoncello! |
