Hi guys!
Back again with Part 2 ;).
After relaxing at the appartment, a little bit of beach and shopping, one might be hungry. If want to experience Nice in full, order mussels. I ate some cooked in white wine and they were delicious. If you're up for raw fish, Planet Sushi is the address. They serve good sushi for not too much money. And last but not least, the holy grail of ice cream - Fenocchio (2 Place Rossetti), where une boule costs 2€. It will cost the same elsewhere so choose from the 70(!!) different flavors.
Next we're gonna do some exercises. To have a wonderful view over Nizza you are required to take the stairs to Parc du Chateau. Don't take the lift, if you don't have to. It'll be worth it. There are like five ways to the top, so don't get confused :).
Another gem in Nice is the Musée National Message Biblique Marc Chagall. For all surrealism and expressionism fans out there, he's amazing and the museum does him justice. It's not for free and a little bit expensive for 7€ or so, but if you've got the money or are willing to spend the money, you won't regret going there.
Nice is really nice to stay at because its distance from the other cities. Monaco is like 20 km away and if you don't mind taking the bus, it'll only cost around 3€ both ways. If you're travelling with a bigger group, take the tickets for 10, so one ticket will only cost 1€ (same way for Grasse).
Two spots I recommend (aside from the popular stuff) are the Jardin Japonais de Monaco and a small path right behind it. The first one is so nice to chill out at and really beautiful. The path behind it allows a beautiful view over the ocean and for all football fans out there, about 30 ex-football stars (e.g. Zinedine Zidan etc.) have their footprints and signings engraved into the ground.
When at the cote d'azur, you can't miss visiting the capital of perfume - Grasse. I mean the town kinda stinks (no offense) and in certain alleys you smell weird stuff you don't want to smell, but once you reach the so called usines, you'll smell all the beautiful flowers. I've been to Fragonard and Galimard (both with guided tours for free) and I recommend Galimard. Fragonard may be more popular, but in my opinion the tour in Galimard is just so much better. Our tour through Fragonard felt so rushed, while the tour through Galimard just felt more relaxed and well organized. Contentwise you'll get about the same info.
All in all, I hope my recommendations could help you in any way and you have a great time in Nice.
Take care until next time,
xoxo Lily
