Nice Girls weekend (as in S. France!)

WaterWoman · 9 Jun 22, 05:24 PM

Off to Nice with three friends next month for a long weekend (easyJet permitting). We’re in our early 40’s but still pretty young at heart!
Any tips or recommendations appreciated. Planning to go to Monaco on the train one day, other than that - plenty of relaxing, mooching, drinking and eating planned!

Grasse is another place to go on the train from Nice. There are some lovely back streets in Monaco close to the aquarium that are full of little restaurants and not too expensive. The HoHo bus in Monaco was great too. Enjoy, you’ll have a great time.

Cannes is a lovely town for a mooch too. Lots of quirky little shops, wine bars and great restaurants for lunch and a nice stretch of public beach.

Monaco is my favourite place I've ever visited. There is a gorgeous hidden cove of a beach here if you fancy a dip.

Villefranche is lovely and not too far from Nice.

"Young at heart" is something you'd say to describe a pensioner 🤣🤣🤣 40's is still just young. (Disclaimer...I'm 44 with a 4yr old and a 1yr old and definitely still young lol!).

I went to Nice for a Hen weekend about 10yrs ago, Monaco is absolutely gorgeous 😍 Top tip...remember your passport if you want to have a look in the amazing casino. We had a lovely afternoon there just looking at the cars/yachts and watching the world go by in Harbour side restaurants.
The Haagen Dazs cafe in the square in Nice is lovely.
Another vote for Villefranche, lovely little seaside town and a short coastal train ride so you get some lovely views xx
