Ian Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I've been whiling (spelling?) away a few hours over the christmas break writing a travel/holiday guide for Nice and surrounding areas and wanted to canvas opinion on your tips for family visitors.Have you been to Nice, what did you like and not like? What were your favorite attractions/trips for keeping the kids happy?Thanks for your help, Ian Post edited by a moderator to remove link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogslegs Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Love it out of season. Great selection of restaurants. Not the traffic or car crime though. The park towards the airport would be a safe bet for keeping family entertained. The drive towards Monaco a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 The local train into Monaco is stress free and can be entertaining in season.......passes by the nudist beach....lots of shreaks from the old girls on my train as they passed guys who were toweling themselves ....The parks and gardens are well kept lots of flowers and a credit to the town ...Streets were well dog muck covered I recall ....Madam will come out of her flat in the evening in her house coat and let the pooch run free in Nice .....that was my observation but it is a few years ago so may have been clamped down on now ? Having said that I do love Nice ! great place to be on a summer evening ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte3 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 In the public loos in Monaco you have to pay if you want toilet roll.......I paid 1 euro for 2 squares!Mind you, she was the best dressed toilet attendant I've ever seen, complete with strings of pearls and nail polish!Aly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suze01 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 My enduring memory of Nice from when I was about 10 years old was that the beach is very stony and when going into the sea for a swim it shelves off very quickly and deeply - bloody dangerous if you're not a good swimmer. It may have changed in the last 30-odd years though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 The beach is still stony but the city has been transformed. Keep your tips coming ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Above Nice and Vannes tou have some very beautiful villages .Biot......Vance which is much les known than st Paul de vence and has its old village with really nice reastaurats...all with outside eating and a really unusual hotel with 5 very comfotable rooms.Haute Cagnes way above Cagnes Sur Mer...streets so narrow that you can barely get the car through the roads...but the atmosphere is really interesting and there is a really good hotel there .From the Terraces you have an amazing views.The two problems with the area of Cote d azur is that it gets very very crowded in summer and decent hotels will be at least 120 pounds per night.
