We traveled to Nice, France a few weeks ago and it was one amazing town! It has a beautiful coast and since we got there pretty late the first night, we just grabbed a bottle of wine and sat on the beach. It was very nice. We explored a little bit before going back to the hostel and I discovered what became a reoccurring theme, France’s obsession with flowers.
For instance we went to this famous candy factory while we were there and they made dried candied flowers, chocolate covered flowers, and marmalade made of violets and roses. That first night we went to a gelato shop and I got the violet flavor and it was sooo good. Not to mention the famous flower market we stopped by and where I bought flower scented soaps.
The second day we wandered around Nice and it is a truly beautiful city. It was warm enough for us to dip our feet into the ocean and sun bathe on the beach. The next day we took a 30 minute bus ride to Monaco, a small country right next to France, with! its own Prince. Unfortunately, even though we went to the Prince’s Palace, we didn’t catch the sight of any royalty. If given the chance I would definitely recommend Monaco as an afternoon side trip. It is very small but also extremely beautiful.
My experience in France was just…amazing!
