Marseille —> Nice

We checked out of our Airbnb and jumped on a train to Nice. It took around 2.5 hours but it was a nice easy journey along the French Riveria. We checked into our Airbnb around lunch time.

We headed straight to the beach, walking through the main square (Place Massena) along the way and then chilling out on the rocky (and very windy!) beach. We stayed a few hours chilling on the beach and attempting to get in and out of the water multiple times which is a challenge sometimes with all the huge cobblestones (we will never take sand for granted at home!) We then ventured into the old town to explore the streets and then got some gelato at a place which had been recommended to us called Fenocchio. They had over a hundred flavours with everything from multiple chocolate flavour, every time of fruit, herbs and spices and even beer flavour! We tried a few different flavours including rhubarb and lemon for Daniel and Gab had lychee and mojito (yes it was alcoholic!).

We did some shopping on the way back to our place before freshening up and heading out for dinner. We had dinner in the old town in an Italian / Niçoise style restaurant. We shared a plate of Niçoise specialities including different tried tomatoes and eggplants, socca bread and grilled octopus which was delicious! We then shaded a yummy truffle pizza to go with Gab's pina colada and Daniel's beer.En savoir plus
