Antibes
June 24, 2007 - Antibes, France
I must admit, had I written about Antibes as soon as I’d arrived, it would be a very different opinion being given. But as time has gone on, and as I’ve become more and more in love with Nice, I’ve started to like Antibes less, which is a shame. I was a bit worried when I first saw Antibes, as I got off the bus at the SNCF which does...

Grasse

Cimiez
August 5, 2007 - Nice, France
I set off, one hot and sunny afternoon, walking northwards for an hour from my apartment. My destination: Cimiez. An upper class quartier in the north east of Nice, Cimiez is a prime example of the ‘eclectic, eccentric architecture’ Nice is famous for. Walking along L’Avenue des Arenes offered views of some stunning buildings, including...
