Nice

Trip: Paris > Nice > Monte Carlo > Antibes > Cannes

The dipping mercury level at Copenhagen was enough reason for me to plan my next trip down south of Europe. Hence I was standing on the massive coast of Nice in French Riviera on the first weekend of December. The beach town is small and walkable.

We settled in a Chinese restaurant for breakfast and made plans for the next two days. Monte Carlo was the closest and in direction opposite to Cannes & Antibes so we decided to cover Nice and MC that very day. It was a modest plan.

The first in check list was walking on the coast and taking pictures of the Mediterranean. Moving further we reached a lighthouse and bouldered port area which was again very unique experience.

Le Château de Nice was visible from here and we took a lift for high-view point on this fort. The curve of Nice coast was clearly visible along with high rise mountains that surrounded it. Super luxury yatch were lined up on a barricaded coastline visible from up there.

Spending a good couple of hours, we enjoyed the cool December breeze and and then descended back to the city for a quiet lunch at a fast food joint. The lunch was to be followed by rest at hostel and then a ride towards Monte Carlo before 4.
