Nice is a nice little place, nothing to do here, just swim and enjoy the sun. We slept on a beach (stony not sandy unfortunately), swam a bit, then went for a stroll along the main promenades, surrounded by fancy hotels and casinos. Also seen a local gay pride parade.

From Jules :)
Yes, Nice's beaches are not for the weak at heart ))
Covered with pebbles of large size, they make you feel like you're getting a full body massage when you lie down on the towel (chaise long and umbrella rents are pretty expensive). Don't ask about how it feels to walk up to and into the water... But we're bringing our slippers from the room and walking up to the sea in them 8-)
The night stroll was very nice, we had ice cream while walking along the seaside on Promenade des Anglais - a walkway financed by wealthy English tourists in the 19th century so that they could enjoy the views of the sea safely at night, while not dirtying their shoes :) Dima brought a tripod and made some pics.
Nice is a real party scene at night - everyone dressed up is heading to a bar or a disco or something... And there are condom vending machines right on the street ;)
Oh yeah, and we hear a lot of Russian speech here - guess the Russian aristocrates... wait, rather 'new Russians'? still spend their vacations here.. 8-)
