Weird coloured statues ... oh and a nice bum

Front door of our apartment in Nice old town.

Lovely market.

Expensive strawberries.

Nicoise specialities. Yummy.

Coffee and a cake while waiting for a bus.

Pressed pennies in Eze!

Eze is a lovely medieval village up a mountain. There is a path to walk back down from the sea. It took about 3/4 of an hour and was quite tough on the knees!

Waiting for us back in Nice! DH couldn't wait!

Packed train coming back from Ventimiglia market. Someone eyeing up DHs ice cream!

Lovely starters for anniversary meal.

Delicious!

Socca about to go to market.

Off he goes!

I slipped in the wet bit on the floor and ended up wrapped around the sign post!

View from the castle hill

We stayed in the square with the cathedral. Brilliant place to stay and lovely apartment.

Path lab with a shoe shop underneath! Perfect!

Unusual ice cream!

Villefranche. The backdrop for Light Motors action was modelled on this town.

Horrible beaches. Realise how much I take Gower for granted!

Nice harbour

Getting the red carpet ready.

Film crew interviewing people on our puffing Billy train!

Our apartment. Green windows on first floor and 2 grey ones on the right.

Small door from living room into bedroom! Lol they even cut the door to fit the sofa!

Lovely bedroom. DH had to duck!

Dining room area. Loved sitting on the red sofa drinking coffee in the morning and wine in the evening. Windows wide open watching and listening to the hustle and bustle in the square below.

Great to see your photos. I am just back from Nice and had an amazing time. We did Monaco and Villefranche-sur-Mer. We even went on the tables in the casino and lost. We made two attempts to get to Eze but the bus did not come either day. We waited and waited and gave up in the end. Had a fab time. In fact I had one of the best meals ever there at a restaurant in the Old Town called Le Vieux Bistro. It was 19 euros and fab! I admit to drinking far too many cocktails in Wayne's Bar as well. Lovely to see your photos.
