Cassis and Calunques

We took a train from Nice to Cassis, a quaint port town next to the Calunques National Park. We spent our last two nights here. 

On our last day we hiked most of the day in the national park. It was stunningly beautiful.

Below is a gorgeous beach in Calunque En Vau. We did not hike down because we had already been hiking for hours. 

At the end of the day we got ice creams (well deserved) and walked to the beach at sunset. 

The view from our balcony at sunset was so pretty with the sun on the red rocks. 

It was a wonderful trip with great friends. 

Castle Hill and Villefranche-sur-mer

Yesterday we hiked up Castle Hill overlooking Nice. In the afternoon we took a boat ride along the coast to Villefranche-sur-mer. 

Billy and Darren went swimming at the beach. The weather is beautiful and the ocean is warm. 

We had champagne on the boat ride.

Eze, France

Today we took a train to Eze by the sea and hiked up to Eze Village. It was a steep trail with beautiful views that took us 1 hour to get to the top. 

 

 

The village was charming. 

After the hike and walking around (and around) the village, we finally found a great place for a delicious lunch. 

Yesterday we went on an e-bike ride all around Nice and up to a beautiful overlook. It was fun and parts of the ride were a little challenging when riding on the road with cars, 

At the end of the night we went to Wayne’s Bar and listened to great live music. It was a fun day!

Nice, France

Yesterday we (Darren, Stacy, Amelia, Brian, Peter, Danielle, Billy and I) arrived Nice. We are staying in the heart of Old Town Nice in 2 cute Airbnbs. 

Today we walked along the beach. The weather is perfect!

This is the view from our apartment window. We are staying on a cute narrow street with so many outdoor restaurants around us
