Nice is very nice

So, Nice is now my favorite place in France.  It's so pretty here and it smells good...strange but true.  My first day, I took a leisurely five hour walk.  I started at the azure blue sea by walking along the beach and then up to the top of the, once fortified, castle grounds.

 

On the other side of the hill, you can see the marina.

There's a cemetery and beautiful park at the top of the hill.

Then I went back down into the medieval part of town for a wander.

This is my favorite part of the city...narrow, winding alleys with colourful shops and restaurants.

Then, as it was my birthday, I treated my self to a huge Panini with various meats and cheeses on it and a chocolate covered something for desert.
