| Postcards of the Past |
| Nice is a city on the Mediterranean coast of France which has become our favourite holiday resort over the years. It has everything you need for a great holiday - superb hotels, hundreds of cafes and restaurants, good shopping and a beautiful promenade. The only negative is the pebbly beach, but the warm Mediterranean waters are so tempting that you soon overcome this minor discomfort. Very lively at night too. At our last visit - May 2007 - a new tramway system was being constructed, and this subsequently opened in October 2007. |
