Nice day trips

From Lyon to Marseille's TGV open 1 hour 45 minutes, you can enjoy the southern Provence region of France in early spring. Tracts, rolling farmland and small villages, there are scattered everywhere and blooming cherry and peach. To Marseille to change trains to reach Nice again, but the interchange time only 10 minutes. Train seems a bit late, scheduled time should is 8 points 25 to arrive. So get off like war, check the platform information, in the long run platform shuttles. Finally the moment caught before train departure. Always thought that France is a space of heaven, to many people, on the train to know France and crowded places. We train journey away three or four times are not found, only standing on the carriage of the hallway on the head. The next compartment is also working as if occupied. Later found a room filled with let me sit, good thing I have been on the edge of the old right after sleep guy to get off on TULON. Marseille to Nice 225 km, TGV, TER trains to open 2 hours and a half, to Nice is 11 points.

Nice is a real tourist cities in English can easily exchange, from the hotel to the roadside hawker is ready to use English.

Tourist Board on the edge of the railway station, we got off the train was soon found. Go where the queued took nice tourist map. Opposite the railway station there are several Chinese restaurant, and even a Chinese buffet restaurant, wrote 14 euro. Because the hotel is too late, and most of the nice hotel near the train station is already full. Later found a home on the Web is located at the railway station to the North of 2-star hotel is HOTEL COMTE DE NICE, 60 Euro a day. But others say that the phone only to the room reserved to afternoon. So take a good map we go straight to the hotel. The hotel is fairly easy to find, and walk about six or seven minutes was spent, is a four-storey pink building, exterior somewhat fading, but the door has four sides on the plug in different countries flag prominently. Push the door, there is a large entrance hall, the left hand side there is a sofa, the right hand side is a reception desk, a young girl where busy filling the phone. I think that is what we saw on television is very typical of small hotels in Europe. We report the name, she checked register and then say the room now got ready, and in the afternoon in order to have, but we can put the bag on the ground floor of the closet. Because there is a laptop in the bag, we have no luggage, confirm good even came back very late or there must be room and decided to go to the beach.

Let the virtues of the heart is a nice, main street, main street, from the railway station has been extended to the United Kingdom by the sea, the coastal road about 1.5 km, small shops and large supermarket.

But we went the whole road is a narrow sidewalk construction, seem rather crowded. There are a lot of selling fast food and olive, in a shop bought two pizza for lunch, 2 euro a piece. Via the BASILIQUE Notre-Dame, in nearby saw the roast chicken, as long as 4 euro, wanted a dinner back to be forthcoming. In the Grand Theatre near we once got lost in MASSENA square a rest for a moment. I really enjoyed it has style decoration of Locke grams white vaulted corridor, just like the whole nice impression: elegant and light, bright and magnificent. Nice townhouse in the region, but it was reduced in a quiet road, there is no square no statue as decoration. There are several best selling near home decor of small shops, mostly some pottery products, from a few hundred euro in Europe to have, is full of beautiful Eastern Mediterranean style. Carrying tourists from the four wheel carriage road raced, hoofs and ringing tones in the air for long. Soon we arrived in the beginning constructed in 1861 of Nice's most famous Saraya road flower fruit and vegetable market. Reputation in the market, than to local residents, tourists, splendid flowers and all Provence produced in fresh fruit and vegetables filled with hundreds of metres of pitch. We spend 1.5 Europe bought 7 red bright large strawberries, almost ordinary narrow-necked bulb so great, and the supermarket selling that rags not know how many times have been turned completely of strawberries are selling.

Aside from the market through a few House under a vaulted passage, a broad with coconut trees and endless Ocean Road.

This is the United Kingdom 3.5 km long coastal road. Down the ladder down the beach, the beach is not found here only sizes or sand grey or white pebbles. Beach by swarms of upstream people, but it does not display the crowded. Everyone can enjoy and sea solitude pleasure. Don't know why, I do not see some of the photos and presentations in say blue sea. My eyes are pale blue of the sea, slightly tinged with green. Clear seawater gently slapping stone Beach, where we leave the flashes of white as Molly Bloom's crush small waves. Back to the main road, to the East of Castries Planina. From the ticket price, France is a great country we from Lyon to Nice one-way is 120 euro; but from the weather, France is a very small country, basically the temperature and Lyon, Nice is the same. Although this is France's Hainan, we wear long-sleeved clothes and a thick coat, windy when incorporating wujin neckline. So we were very surprised to see someone in this weather swim there should only wear shorts sitting on the beach, and there are female (the day's weather is a bit like Shanghai Huangmeitian, when clear up when Yin; also stutters a little rain, ground, when the Sun under the rain in a smiley face on the edge of dew. )

Custer Hill COLLINE Castle is said to be a sign of the city was founded in Nice.

After so many centuries of turnover, we now see the castle was the way, just follow the steps of the steep rise in his tracks and, in a dome House platform with sea view, think about 2600 years ago, people in the same place in the same time also did the same thing. We do not know the 2600 years ago nice Sun is so bright, they would not be expected that 2600 years of prosperity here. Castries Planina feel than Lyon fouville Hill beside, on top of the Hill, the eyes become crystal clear.The Hill is a large park, Norma green wine, wooded, there is also a bar and a small Zoo, a small pond keeps some birds have two plush not faded duckling mutual cling to lie in the Internet bar edges in the Sun. In the North there is a small waterfall, there is the highest point of the whole mountain. Back to as early as possible, so that in case there is no room in the hotel, read the top a small piece of the castle ruins after we directly from the mountains behind it, so you can browse all the nice old style and then around the back to the hotel. And Lyon not exactly a nice seems to not find free toilets, toilet is everywhere and coin (this point at least don't see toilets better guemassa) which is 3 cents. To coin a toilet just recognize 1 point and 2 point of coins, made us both a lot with notes of the "rich man $ rich" rich had nowhere to make.

Nice old city's buildings are also are some neat style white narrow long shutter, pink yellow Chu connectivity of walls (and our hotel very similar), through the narrow lanes to wear in and out, get lost.

Finally to the visitors a lot of markets, restaurants, perfumery, olive shop, souvenir shop and casual. We are there to find the legendary "cable card cake" fail, but time has passed 4 points. Just be always hate shopping husband caught grounds, ostensibly as go straight to the hotel. Hotel MM too busy when we got back just another Dial guests also get to. However the hotel's services or more user-friendly, MM took out two room key that we can take a look and then pick one. In 2 floor, take the Hall on the corner of elevator directly into the corridor where almost is the end. European hotel room it is said that are not large, it is estimated that 11 second square, but the layout is reasonable, wardrobe, desk, coffee table,--. It looks very clean, almost all spotlessly clean carpet. White pillow also lovely lay two blue cellophane wrapped candy. The room furniture is of pine wood, all the walls are decorated with pine blocks do, with African grassland Vista's paintings. This is my favorite, reminds me of those than pine furniture at home. The bathroom is also passable, but later discovered that the hotel may most guests are Europe and the United States, wall-mounted toilet design than ordinary high, to sit above not tiptoe toe. Another in the 1/f, in order to find it, we first along the direction of the had MM refers back through the kitchen, together with the glass door open, there was a small courtyard, on the other side of the courtyard and open a door, more like a residence here, ran down the stairs climb finally found the room, and the first style is almost the same, just a little larger, more than a refrigerator. Like lived one night tomorrow also up early to catch the train, we then chose the first room. The room had a few strawberries, we had to drive out resolve supper. On the way back, find grilled chicken shops are closed, we have changed direction, at the made virtues heart Street a big supermarket. MONOPRIX do not know is not a chain, but it is better than Osso, because we're in it also found a place selling hot dishes, Osso is none. Finally bought a barbecue, a small box of cheese cucumber, four roast chicken leg (all these are hot), there is also a France long staff, a morning breakfast vanilla cream sandwich bread rolls, a bottle of water and a can of beer, 1664 to ten euro in total. Back to the hotel, while watching TV a big chew. Delicious, especially the barbecue, we regret to buy less.
