Armani to get to the beach! (hmm... sorry lads )

What is there to do in Nice and on the French Riviera?
Nice is very much an outdoors city, a temperature that rarely goes above 95F in summer or below 40F in winter, it is an all-year destination and is as popular and lively in winter as it is in summer.
From laying on the beach, soaking up the sun in summer, to a great base for skiing in the winter. Isola 2000, a superb ski resort is 90km away. A ski pass and bus (there and back) costs 28 Euros.
Nice is a great walking city but you can always relax on the beach or in an outdoor cafe.
If it's your first visit to Nice, and you don't have much time, you might find a guided tour useful.
There are two possibilities, both close to the apartment.
Cross over the Promenade des Anglais and head left in the direction of the port.
After a couple of hundred yards you will come to the Petit Train (Little Train). This will take you through the old town and up to Le Chateau.
A 40 minute trip costs 6 euros (children under nine 3 euros).
A better, but more expensive alternative ( Adults 17 Euros, Children 9 Euros) can found
a few yards further on.
The open-top double-decker bus gives a Grand Tour of Nice lasting 1hr 30min and gives you a great idea of the city layout. From March to early November the service runs every half hour from 9. 30am to 6.30pm; the rest of the year hourly from 9.30am to 5.00pm.
The service makes 11 stops and you can hop on and off anywhere you want.
It includes Cimiez (Roman ruins and Matisse Museum) and the Acropolis (Museum of Contemporary Art).
If you pay 20 Euros rather than 17 Euros you can extend the ticket to two days.
The newly opened Place Massena.
The new tramway opened in November 2007
(The apartment is 6 min's walk away from the fantastic Place Massena.)
If you are one of those people whose idea of Heaven is to pop into the nearest bar ......read no further! Your needs are fully catered for.
But if you want to broaden your mind a bit, and the word "culture" doesn't terrify you, then we have some suggestions.
You may like to note that Nice Municipal Museums are free of charge on the first and third Sundays of each month. Surprisingly, most of the Museums in Nice are open throughout the day from 10 am to 6 pm.
However, with a few exceptions, don't expect to find galleries or shops open between noon and 2.00pm. In France, lunchtime is for lunch! Even the parking meters are free - who's going to check them at lunchtime?
So much to see, so little time.......
Some of the more interesting local excursions include Antibes, Cannes, Digne-les-Bains, Grasse, Menton, Monaco/Monte Carlo, St. Paul de Vence, Saint Tropez (by boat!) and Villefranche-sur-Mer.
Not forgetting the Monaco Grand Prix each May. ( 25 th May in 2008 )
The list is by no means exhaustive; we could add Cap Ferrat, Eze, Gourdon,
Tourettes-sur-Loup, Vence....not to mention Ventimiglia in Italy.
All are accessible by car and by public transport, whether train, bus or boat. If you prefer a guided tour Cityrama have half day coach tours from May to October with English commentary to Monaco, Cannes, St. Paul-de-Vence, Grasse, Antibes, Vallaurais, Eze and the Villa Ephrussi at Cap Ferrat.
You can find many more details at the Nice Tourist Bureau, conveniently located at 5, Promenade des Anglais.
