The mistique and storied past of the city of Nice has a lot to do with its location and climate. It has been much sought after over the years and has always had its share of visitors; the romans, the french, the italians, the british aristocrats and the neveau riche all have enjoyed this playhouse of a city. Our cycle tour of the city with our guide Matt was very educational. The architecture, the history, the artifacts, the legacies, the stories and the land all combined to make an excellent and valuable tour. From the Promenade D'anglais to the historic casino's and hotels, to the old city architecture to the museums, the squares, the markets, the restaurants, the port, the chateau over looking the city, we biked and took it all in. This month the city of Nice is celebrating the 150th anniversary of the return of the city to France from Italian rule. There are concerts and happenings all over town. Tonight we enjoyed a casual dinner at La Pizza, and now it is 12 a.m. and time to blog.....A busy day lies ahead tomorrow, we have booked a private car to take us to San Remo, Italy and to Monaco for the day.
Bon Soir!
