In Nice we decided to go from the small Italian town of Pietra-Ligure, which is located not far from the French border. Drive on the train took about two hours and voila we on the azure shore!
From the Nice-Ville main station, we decided to walk to the famous English embankment, the road takes about 20 minutes.
Promenade is one of the business cards of the city, and not just like that. She is wide and long, here are some of the best beaches on the entire Cote d'Azur, by the way there are many unequipped areas, so you can come rude and buy for free.
Next, we decided to go to the luxury Hotel Le Negresco, which is located straight on the waterfront and is another business card. Swiss in white gloves open your doors and you find yourself in the atmosphere of wealth and chic. Beautiful chandeliers, candelabra and vases. Mandatory go there.
Then we reached the main square of the city - Massena, an interesting place, especially unusual men sitting on the pillars, which in the evening are highlighted by by the way with different colors. There is also a park with a fountain, which in the heat saves, from Mala to Great in it splashing. We spent the time there before sunset.
In the evening, we went to Saleya Square, this place of the party, there are many restaurants and cafes, shopping rows with souvenirs and a flower bazaar. Here you can have dinner, the choice of institutions is different, and in the kitchen, and by the budget. We for a modest snack from Crepa, salad and non-alcoholic drinks paid 25 euros.
If you are a budget tourist, then of course, it is better to buy food in the supermarket, the prices are higher than in Russia, and even in neighboring Italy, but you can easily save on food in establishments.
Nice, the city shows that it is not cheap and attracts many wealthy tourists, but at the same time quite simple and romantic. I really liked how easily youth sitting on the embankment in the evening, straight on pebbles and drinks wine overlooking the Azure Sea.
A large number of migrants are still striking, but this is already the long-standing problem of France, so the city does not interfere with the city.
