Sunrise from the balcony of my hotel, the Meridien Nice
Why yes, I AM eating my way through the city. Tartiflette is one of my absolute favorite dishes in the world!
Gorgeous nightime shot of the ferris wheel at Place Massena. I was entranced by this wheel for most of my stay, a la Christian in Moulin Rouge.
The Opera House, as seen from Promenade des Americains. (The main entrance is actually on the back side of the building, so that royalty wouldn’t have to endure sun on their lily white skin to enter.)
Plage Opera, where I met my cycling tour group.
Eglise du Gesu has one of the most beautiful building facades in all of Nice.
How many round windows are on this building? Correct answer: four. The two in the center are trompe l’oeil. Amazing!
Auer is the oldest storefront in all of Nice – it’s been there since 1920, and was a favorite of Queen Victoria.
This hotel has a really cool storied history – loved hearing about it from my guide!
I saw the war memorial yesterday during my run (it was right at the poit when I got a fabulous runner’s high), but was happy to see it again and be able to get a good pic.
I missed the name of this, but the view is stunning!
This is the grave of Gaston Leroux, who wrote Phantom of the Opera! Gorgeous cemetery.
Quite a climb on the bikes to get up here, but the view was so worth it!
The blue, blue water just makes the port of Nice so stunning!
Stopped at Attimi for lunch today, which is known to have the best Italian-style pizza in the city. It didn’t disappoint! Super crispy and fantastic.
I head home tomorrow – race report from yesterday’s Rock N Roll Nice 10 Miles du Carnaval coming then, along with tons more pics from the race!
So nostalgic. I haven’t been in years but it looks like it hasn’t changed much except the bikes.
