Nice

From Andorra we headed back into France and straight for the coast!
Our first day back in France was spent in the car, and we camped in a small little town called Sainte-Marie, it was a nice little town, but we didn't spend too much time exploring. It was just a quick one night stop, before a early rise for the drive along the Riviera to Cannes.

At Cannes we saw our first glimpse of the stunning coastline of the French Riviera. Again it was more just a place to stay than a real stop, we didn't get to see much of the city, but it allowed us to be just an hours drive from Nice.

Nice was beautiful, we camped not far out of the city, maybe about 30mins, although the drive took us an hour on our first journey into the city! French drivers are insane!
The beach was gorgeous, bright blue water and a stone shore,  it was a little weird to see a beach with no sand at all! Though you were laying on stones, the beach was packed.

We wandered through the city, which is full gorgeous french architecture and bright colourful buildings. The streets are tiny and full of people. After a few hours walking, we decided it was time for our first swim in the Mediterranean.
The water was beautiful, warm but still refreshing, I even managed to get Sam in for a swim! Walking in and out of the was incredibly difficult with the stones and everyone looked a bit funny stumbling up and down the beach.
All in all we loved Nice, and only wish we had more time to spend here.
