"Nissa la Bella"

"O la miéu bella Nissa
Regina de li flou
Li tiéu vielhi taulissa
Iéu canterai toujou.
Canterai li mountain
Lou tiéu tant ric decor
Li tiéu verdi countryside
Lou tiéu gran soulèu d’or"


I left the mountains, I was joined and we left for the south.

On the last day 😔 before our departure, we wanted to see Nice, the city I had already explored a bit by bike 🚲.

After parking our car 🚕 in a parking garage 🅿️ on the promenade, we immediately headed into the center, where countless shops 🏯🏪🕋 awaited us.
So much to see 👀, to admire, so many side streets …

City Trip Day 2: Today we were out and about in Nice before heading home in the evening. From our airport hotel, we took the tram to the harbor (Port Lympia). Of course, we couldn't miss the "I love Nice" sign before walking up the stairs to the Parc de la Colline du Château. Up here, you have a fantastic …

In the afternoon I only had two hours to explore Nice. Much too short. I could have spent a day there. Very beautiful city. Also the Schlossberg with its park, wonderful. Great views. It got very warm. Lots of sun at the beginning of 20 degrees. You could only stand it on the famous promenade, where the truck attack took …

A la recherche du vrai Salad Niçoise 🧐! Jour de répos aujourd ' hui 😴. Relax day between 2x 2 cycling days. Lovely walk through the veille ville for our traditional capu ☕️ at our tribe Café du Cycliste at the vieux port 🚤. Then 'climbed' the adjacent hill with the ascensor ⬆️. Nice view over (old) Nice 👌🏻. Birthday …

We spend our last day of vacation in Nice.
We even discovered a few carnival characters after we unfortunately couldn't see the carnival.
We walk through the old town, look at the flower market and walk up the Schlossberg. At the end we return to the “Engländer-Promenade”.
I found the blue armchairs on the beach promenade particularly funny; winter tourists …

Day trip to Nice. After the not entirely inconvenient search for a parking space, we went along the promenade to the flower market and then via the old town up to the Schlossberg with panoramic views over the city, harbor and coast.
