Well here we are on our last day in Nice. It took us one entire day to travel here by train from Cahors. And what a different world! Thousands of red roofs, mountains behind and the turquoise Mediterranean.
I was expecting to feel outclassed in this trendy city of the rich and famous, walking around in my hiking clothes, but Nice is a wonderful melange of all sorts of people, multiple accents on the street and a vast spectrum of attire. We have seen many of the sights here, the old town, the Promenade Anglais, the buildings of the Belle Epoque, and we walked all around the coast from Cqp Ferrat back to the middle of Nice. And yesterday we took the bus to St Paul de Vence, in the rain, and walked around this artsy town perched on a mountain.
And all of this with the wonderful hospitality of Roland and Annette. We have a view of the sea and sky from our flat, all kinds of tourist advice and suggestions and a trip to Italy for lunch. We are so lucky!
Now by plane to Geneva.....a mupti-part trip.
Au revoir for now.
