Eze, the destination YiChun had talked about for the last six months finally made our travel itinerary. The first trip YiChun and I took after her move here was to the French Riviera (as if the Swiss Riviera wasn't good enough).
We stayed in this little hotel at the center of Nice, in the Messena street. It was well located. The seafood in Nice was pretty good. Although I do have to say they definitely charge a fair tourist premium. But hey, what are you going to do, it's the french!
The beaches in Nice and Cannes were really not that impressive. The Nice beach is stone, and while the Cannes beach is a bit nicer and sandy, both of them cater to tourists en mass. Not my thing. The back streets of Nice are quit quaint and filled with little shops and restaurants that are worth an afternoon's exploration.
Eze was WAY cool. It's this little village built on a cliff in the 15th century. The town was full of little alleys and had a spectacular view of the bay. I have to admit that I was not expecting anything that nice and unique. I was really surprised. If you ever make it out to Nice, and have little time, make Eze your destination. The bus from Nice drops you off right in the center of town. Take a walk up to the town, and be sure to make a stop for a drink at Le Château de la Chèvre.
Monaco is cool for its romantic image, F1, the casino, and of course, the playground of the rich and famous. It's an interesting place to visit.
