Nights in Nice
24th-26th August, 2012
Nice turned out to be nicer than expected; it had a cute
little old town which we roamed a couple of times finding some great little
cafes, a bustling market and some pretty squares. There were also the ruins of a castle on hill
set in some attractive gardens complete with waterfall and views down the
entire Promenade de Anglais.
We just so happened to be in town on the night of the Prom’
Party where the whole promenade was closed to traffic and featured five or so
stages, with bands playing a variety of music, spread along the length of the
street entertaining the crowds.
A day In Marseille
26th-27th August, 2012
It was just a short stop in the second largest city in
France. On the to do list was the old
port and a couple of churches and parks but we only made it as far as the old
port where we proceeded to jump on a boat and head to Isle d’If, spending the
morning wandering the small but famous island where the story of the Count of Monte
Christo was set. A quick hop over to
Isle Frioul for lunch and then we were fare welling Marseille.

A moment in Montpellier
27th-28th August, 2012
An even shorter stay in Montpellier meant we regretfully had
even less time to explore this quaint little city. We managed dinner and a sunset stroll but the
little time we had the next morning before leaving was hampered by rain L Next time…
Here are some more photos of our short trip through France
