Nice

 The stone covered beach of Nice.         2010

 Beach at Nice, this spot has sand so they can play volleyball.          2010

Here I'm standing on the Nice Prominade over one of the Private Beach spots, where you can rent a table and chair or eat at the eatery right next to the water. This is how the wealthy crowd enjoy the Riviera.    2008

Lafeyette Square is now a tourist area. They got rid of cars made it a walking zone and added 

a street car. Most of the construction was complete.     May 2012

 They have brand new street cars in Nice and they are easy to use, but crowded. I took one away from the coast just

to see where it went. It was cheap sightseeing and you know you can always get back to were you started. 

I took this to the bus station, and hopped the bus to Eze in the mountains.   May 2012

Most of the old Nice is car free and full of endless places to eat or drink.      May 2012 

A church in Vieille Ville, the old part of Nice. This part of the city dates 

back to the time when the Romans controled this area of France.   May 2012 

Outside seating here is the way to go in the old part of nice.      May 2012 

Fenocchio Geloto store, this is the best geloto in the world in my opinion. They have some crazy

 flavors, like tomato basil and avacodo, and a bunch of liquier flavors as well.    2010

Fenocchio Geloto (in Vieille Ville), just a thought of it makes my mouth water. In three 

visits to Italy and multiple tries this beat them all.   2010

A skinny building to go along with the skinny streets of old Vieille Ville, Nice.      2010 

This church was so hidden behind other buildings, you would hardly know it was there.      May 2012 

It was spectacular inside. Not very big, but very ornate.      May 2012

The French really love their Dogs, they are really part of the family.

This is a fancy dog boutique in Nice.      2008

A Russian Ortodox Church in Nice near the train station.   2010 

Nice is one of my favorite places in Europe.        May 2012 

Villafranche 

Villafranche is a small town right next to Nice and I love the small town feel of it.      2010

 Villafranche has a small port where the cruise ships tender their passengers to the shore

and train station to visit the Riviera.    2010

VillaFranche's very short walk from the port to the train station.       2010

 This picture of the beach at Villafranche taken from the train station platform above.       2010

I could not decide which picture to use so I added this one as well.    2010 

Bob pointing out a castle on top of the hill.        2005 

 I took a bus ride down the coast and got off to walk part of the way back so I could take a few pictures.

This would have been a great place to bike and to get pictures,      May 2012

 The rooftops are interesting.   May 2012

 Every time I turned the corner I could see a photo that needed to be taken.    May 2012

 The mountains in the background are covered in clouds. The town of Eze is up there somewhere.       May 2012

 Not everyone has a economy car here.       May 2012

I love old doorways.   May 2012 

The water here is crystal clear and notice the railway tracks run right along the coast below.   May 2012 

I like his view of the Mediterranean.     May 2012

This was my last photo on the 2012 trip and I was flying out in the morning.

So I hopped back on the bus back to nice.        May 2012
