A Visit to Nice, France

One of the great opportunities presented by living in Tunisia is how close, and therefore easy, it is to get to many European destinations.  So when I learned that my sister, Joanne was going to be there for her work, I decided to take a little "mini holiday" and join her.  My hotel was right on the Promenade des Anglais, a 7 km long walkway next to to Mediterranean Sea.   Nice is very appropriately named, a very "nice" place to visit!  Here's some photos:

Of coarse since we were so close to Monaco and Montecarlo, we had to take a visit there .....

No small boats here!

With Marina's this beautiful, you wouldn't even need to leave

All walkways were very beautiful, just like this one ....

.... and this one ...
The famous Casino ... Didn't go inside, but did see some rather high end cars cruising about.  The most popular one seemed to be the Ferrari.  But then, I don't really know cars that well ...
