Vieux Nice


10/30/2013 - Nice, France

I'm closing in on the last leg of my overseas trip. I last visited France on my way to Amsterdam, in St Malo at the northwest end. Now I'm at the far southeast end. Nice is still very warm. Most people were wearing shorts, and plenty of people were hanging out at the beach. 

The old part of the city ("Vieux Nice") is near the beach and the palace, with charming maze-like streets. I found it easy to get around and find good places to go out. The park (above) was lively, the bars were friendly, and the French were patient as I tried to speak the language.
