"Nice on the Cote d'Azur - the beautiful blue coast" Nice by gabyne

The "Baie des Anges" lies in front of the famous "Promenade des Anglais", a very big avenue with a promenade where all the big and expensive hotels and restaurants are situated.
The picture was taken from a small hill (Mt. Boron) which lies between the beach and the port on the other side.
Since it was beginning of May, the beach was almost empty - no comparison to what it might look like in high season - then it is crowded with people!
The different beaches (les plages) were still mostly closed which means there were no sunbeds or sunscreen. In season you have to pay a lot to visit those beaches which normally belong to the near-by hotels.
- Pros:very fashionable, interesting to watch people, good food and wine, French flair
- Cons:very expensive, sometimes crowded
- In a nutshell:Not just Salade Nicoise!
