In between France and Italy

by BurgerQueen - last update: Oct 11, 2007

A street in Vieu Nice
A lot of people I know love Nice and usually spend a few days there every year.
This is the reason why when a friend of mine graduated, together with her sister and an other friend of us, we organised a trip to Nice as a present.
My general impression on the city is positive, but I was definitely expecting more from it.
Old downtown (Vieux Nice) is impressive indeed, though too much touristic, streets are dirty (dogs leftovers and anything else), and I got the impression that people wanted to cheat us, above all in the city center.
A wonderful yellow building
What I really loved in Nice are colours.
Everything is colourfull: flowers in the flower market, fruits, vegetables, buildings and the sea it's incredibly blue!
The wonderful Cote d'Azur micro-climate makes everything look even nicer.
Place Masséna with some road works
We were not lucky because when we visited the city there were a lot of ongoing road works, so we could not really enjoy all the streets and squares.

 Nice page, BQ. I especially smiled at the "round square" oxymoron. :)
