A nice week in Nice (France)...

So it's probably the most corny and overused joke in travel writing, but we just couldn't resist because Nice is, well, nice. With its urban beaches, famous fountains, quick railway access to Monaco, Cannes, and the rest of the Riviera, Nice is the perfect place to spend a week, or for that matter the rest of your life. We used it as a weeklong reprieve between the gruelling sites of Berlin and the reality of job searching that faces us back in Ireland.

View from our balcony in Nice. Love how the clouds are framing the moon. 

View of Nice atop Castle Hill. Nothing beats having access to the beach from the centre of town. 

Does it look like we are enjoying ourselves?

Nice at night, the Promenade du Paillon. Besides the glow in the dark yogis, there's a beautiful fountain show too. 

Just a couple of yachts docked in Monaco. 

Changing of the guard at the Prince's Palace in Monaco. 

Sculpture in Cannes in honour of their famous film festival.  MB and I couldn't resist seeing a movie in Cannes and went to see Gone Girl.
