We have had a relaxing time on the Cote d’Azur (the French Riviera). Our first impression of the beach front was that we could have been on the Gold Coast but on closer inspection the beach was made up of stones and the high rises were not quite as high. The weather was nice in the mid twenties but not quite warm enough for us to brave the Mediterranean. Whilst here we did a search but did not find any ‘Nice’ biscuits but the local fare looked nice.
We did find time to visit the Matisse gallery and the Museum of Modern Art and take a trip out to a nearby medieval village in the hinterland. Tonight, our last night here, Joy got a graving for some French pastries, the patisseries are everywhere during the day, but at night none are open. We wandered through the old town without luck, listened to the Nice Philharmonic Orchestra playing in a square and finally stumbled on a cafe with cakes and watched France V Uruguay play a nil all draw in the World Cup.
Tomorrow (Saturday) we fly to Lourdes.
