Nice holiday apartment

Painters and art of living: So many things to say about Nice ! To counterbalance any overindulgence,you might like to walk up to the Castle Hill park (one minute from the studio) or take the lift situated off the coast road,and you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular view of the Cote d’Azur. Down the other side of the Castle Hill park is the Port with its fishing and pleasure boats, and restaurants. And beyond that again, to the East, there’s a path along the rocks where you can swim and sunbathe away from the bustle of the main beach. Finally, if you’ve still got the stamina and you fancy a bit of culture, there are numerous churches and art galleries/museums: Picasso, Leger, Matisse, Cocteau, Chagall and Dufy all lived and worked on the Cote d’Azur. (The painting of Dufy’s ‘Le mai à Nice’ is of the building next door to me,known locally as ‘La Treille’ because of its gigantic grapevine.) I also recommend the Museum of Asiatic arts, near the airport.

Tram and Piazza Garibaldi: The new Tram is an absolute must! It makes Nice look different, and the same... After all, back in 1953, there was already a Tram. What they have done in 2007 is remarkable. It already belongs to the city. Place Garibaldi (1 minute from my apartment) has also been changed, for the best, I must say. The arcades look even more beautiful. Such a romantic place. This part of Nice is just a masterpiece.

Bus and email: All bus fares to visit Eze, Monaco, Menton, Cannes, Vence and the villages in the back country are at € 1 ! It is the same price in Nice itself, with buses or the beautiful Tram. EMAIL CAFE in the Old Town of Nice : rue St Vincent, at the corner with rue du Pontin, behind the Cathedral, or much cheaper, off the bus station, close to where bus 98 to airport stops. If you have a laptop you can catch Wifi at MacDonald's for free, either inside ou outside. McDonald's is 20 meters from the bus station, on rue Jean Jaurès. Do not hesitate to ask me any question about Nice. I've been a resident many, many years, and I still go there as often as possible. You'll also find more details on my website that I update as often as possible.

Other Activities: Shopping in the Old Town !
