Our next destination on the Cote d'Azur was Nice.  We spent two nights there.  The beach if you can call it that is nothing more than an expensive strip of grey stony rubble and for about 25 euro you can rent a chair and umbrella for the day.  Alongside the beach is the Promenade de Anglais, or walkway of the English.  Finanaced by an english minister in the 1800's  It is a long paved strip running parallel to the sea.  Always busy with tourists and locals, joggers and roller bladers. There are plenty of bright blue benches to sit on to take in the view.  Lots of stalls selling gelato and cold drinks.  Grand hotels sit on the opposite side of the road with stunning views of the azure blue sea.

Away from the sea, Nice has a lovely old town centre, great open air markets a lovely park and remains of a citadel perched high on a hill with stunning views of the Cote d'Azur.
