Considering the Hotel La Perouse in Nice?

Of course you must visit the beach, perhaps taking a leisurely stroll along the Promenade d'Anglais first. Although some people are a little disappointed that the beach is stoney, it really is the place to go for a few hours and catch some rays. Locals and tourists alike while away leisurely afternoons on the public stretches and there's always friendly beach vendors walking past just ready to refresh you with ice-cold beer, soft drinks, melon and even coffee although that wouldn't be my drink of choice whilst sitting in the blazing sun! The vendors in Nice really don't hassle you unlike some other places I've been to. Just a friendly 'non' will send them on their way as there's plenty of other thirsty sun-worshipers further up the beach!Carrying on from above, if you do buy something from the drinks vendors and make a little effort, especially if you know a little French, you'll quite often find them really friendly and ready for a chat. I still think fondly of the 'Allo allo' man- if you've been to Nice you will certainly know who I mean and if you're planning a trip there you soon will! I can still hear his little songs in my head! Also, read his T-shirt- it rhymes in French but a rough translation is: 'Yes it's me, it's the truth, kisses are free, for all the night!' He really is a character.
