Cote D'Azur Tour From Monaco to St Clair - Part 2
As you leave Villefranche you will drive around the headland in to Nice
. Take a moment to look at the War memorial carved into the cliff face at the foot of Mont Boron. It's quite a sight. Here you also have a fantastic view across the Bay of Angels, all the way past the airport to Antibes.Nice is a vibrant city and there is plenty to do and see here. So much so that I have written a separate article. The beach in Nice is huge stretching from the Headland almost to the airport. It's a pebble beach and drops away steeply so please watch the kids! There are lifeguards patrolling the beach just in case.
In peak holiday season you can find various childrens rides along the 'Promenade Des Anglaise' and cycling, rollerblading and skateboarding are actively encourage on the sea front. Nice has a bicycle hire system called 'Velo Beu'. Find one of the many street stations dotted around the city, pay and of you go with the best way to explore Nice.
On route to Antibes you will pass through Cagnes Sur Mer And Biot. Cagnes Sur Mer has plenty of beach side restaurants with and array of seafood's, pasta and pizza. The beach is pebble like Nice but far less busy. Biot has a few major attractions if you are travelling with children. The first is Marineland, Home to some of the best aquatic shows I have seen. Here you can watch killer whales, seals and dolphins perform plus for an extra fee you can pet the dolphins in a shallow pool.
Also on site is a really cool miniature golf course, a water park, and the 'Far West' play area with an adventure playground and lots for the kids to do. Also, just a minutes walk away is Antibes Land. A funfair with something for everyone.
Antibes is one of the most popular ports in the area. Some of the worlds most luxurious boats birth here to enjoy the many bars and restaurants that Antibes has to offer. As well as the dining Antibes has a healthy music scene with multiple bars in the town having live music most nights throughout summer.
The 'Hop Store' is always very popular as is 'The Lincoln' pub, both on the same strip just behind the city wall. Antibes is home to one of the best-loved bands on the Cote d'Azure called 'Blah Blah'. These guys really put on a show and are usually seen twice a week in La Gaffe and as often as they can in other venues. Antibes also has one of the best Chinese restaurants that I have had the fortune to eat in. Ancre du Chine is, again, just behind the city wall on the strip but it can be a little pricey. Check the bill before offering to treat any new friends you may have met in the town. Also recommended is Brulot Pasta who the locals say have the best pizza in Antibes. They also do steaks and duck dishes but Le Brulot is just amazing for inexpensive pizzas. Experts say try the 'Norwegian'.
There is also the Aubergine, a cute little restaurant. You can get a good value menu starting around 20 Euros and the main meals come with the best jacket potatoes ever.
If you fancy a curry the Achiana Curry House has best curries in Antibes, its near the Lighthouse bar and the food is great and the staff are brilliant. The lamb sag and onion bhaji are outstanding.
A very cool way to visit the Cote d'Azur is to rent a motorhome in the UK and drive down to France. If you are in the UK call 0800 612 8719 to book it.
