Approaching Cannes on the train to Nice

Nice = heaven.

The main beach at Nice

Sure, there are a lot of people, but the beach is big enought to fit everyone, and it’s still a city you can get lost in. Trust me.

We went swimming as soon as we arrived, then wandered through old town until finding the gelato place I’d seen in the Lonely Planet. They have 100 flavours, all of them incredible. We shared a six scoop that even put Giapo to shame (sorry Gianpaolo!).
