The Chateau
by Lilasel
"Le Chateau" isn't a chateau -- the castle on top of this high rock hill overlooking Nice old town and the port has been gone since 1706, but it's a great place to visit. There are cool walks in the shade of the trees, great views out over Nice and the Mediterranean, a large grassy park, playground, Roman ruins and a waterfall.

Topless sunbathing is permitted on the beaches of the Cote d'Azur. You'll see a mix of women with their tops on or off as you enjoy the beaches. The lesson to be learned is not to stare like a schoolboy. Enjoy the sun and let others enjoy it too.

In 1977 I spent three weeks in Aix-en-Provence studying the French language. Aix was founded during the 3rd century BC. Cours Mirabeau in the center is a beautiful tree-lined avenue with wonderful terrace cafés.
Interesting perfume prices
by Elainehead about Parfumerie Rose de France
This perfume shop sells most perfume brands 20% off. If you have doubts, go to Sephora to compare prices. You may not find this place right away, because there's a huge "Alain Soriano" written all over, so it may be misleading...
I got my Miss Dior Chérie (L'Eau de Toilette) there for under 50€.
They also have a sister shop selling beauty products (lipsticks, creams, etc) which is a few doors away. They also sell with 20% off normal prices. Perfume 20% off than Sephora prices.
