Spend some time at the beach.
by sheryl_tan
I simply love the pebble-beach. Its just a pity that I miss seeing hunks and babes out sun-bathing since we went after dinner. But just stroll along the shore, or sit on the pebbles, and listen. Listen to the sound of the waves bringing the pebbles in and out of the shore. It sounds like the clapping of hands, it was totally relaxing. I had spent hours just sitting and listening to the waves and the pebbles. Well, if you can't catch any waves, you might catch a cold instead.

explore this part of the Riviera where VILLENEUVE-LOUBET is. As we drove from NICE to CANNES, we happened to chance upon this enchanting futuristic building. When such a man-made wonder caught our eye, we knew we had to make a stop in this town called simply - Villeneuve-Loubet!
Le Chien - the ultimate fashion accessory
by NiceLife
Four-legged equivalent to the 4x4 SUV - the samoyed is the next fashion statement. No slipper-chewing family friend this. More wolf-like than a handbag fitting "naugh-ty naugh-ty boy". You couldn't think of a dog less suited to a hot mediterranean climate, but no more unsuited than an off the road 4x4 is to Riviera roads. Its sort of an "four-paw off the road dog"
Fellas, forget the yellow Lamborghini - this is the ultimate babe-magnet. Every passing mademoiselle stopped to ask about the breed and drop admiring compliments. Passing lady poodles went weak at the knees and barked excitedly. A dog fit for a catwalk.
Dog on a leash says "I live here! I'm not a tourist!" There are more subtle overtones too. In a city of small apartments, owning a big dog suggests perhaps you might have a villa. I like the "we have one each". And are they male and female samoyeds? Are children are really just pet-substitutes?
This afternoon walking back from the shops in South London a group of five young men of West Indian origin strutted by, each with a charcoal-grey pit-bull terrier straining on a black leather silver-studded collar and leash. Clearly the "right" dog is now an essential fashion accessory
Beaulieu-sur-Mer
by in4ik
Not the best sunny day? Tired of the beach and no-activity holidays? Here is something for you.
One of the highlights during my stay in Nice was trip to Beaulieu-sur-Mer (on the way to Monaco) and walking tour to Villefranche. It was a whole day tour along the sea shore.
Start in tourist office near the train station and grab the map of a tour. It's easy, but very rewarding in terms of views of the sea, small typical French towns and expensive villas.
Biscuits that get you fat but happy!
by CarineBXL about La cure gourmande
"La cure gourmande" is only one of the shops in Old Nice where you can buy wonderful biscuits. The shop in itself is beautiful, with all these biscuits and chocolates displayed.
You make your own selection, put it in a bag, and then you pay ... and you eat.
Another shop, same style is "les péchés gourmands" (http://www.peches-gourmands.fr). I don't know which one I prefer :-) It all depends on what you like, but they have delicious lemon, chocolate and pistachio biscuits. Everything is fine. The chocolates are also good, but not as terrific as the biscuits. It is expensive, because each type of biscuit is heavy, and as you are tempted to buy one or two of each, you can easily reach 10 euros or more for a bag!
