    When you say we’re in a French town eating Italian nice use to actually be in Italy, it was the border that’s why you see a lot in Italian and they speak their own language called nicoise. That little square with the fountain called place Rossetti you can rent the apartment above the ice cream shop and the balcony looks down onto the square, really stunning view.

    The girls will look back on the trip and forget the intense heat and remember the total ambiance! What a wonderful experience for them and a great place to explore in your new van!

    Been enjoying your vlogs... the loud sound you heard was actually the cannon (mortar) that goes off to mark noon. it is a tradition that dates back to the 19th century, started by an English gentleman. And yes, there is an elevator, not far from the start of the steps. (It has been out of order, though, quite a bit this year)

      Thanks for the info about the Cannon , it sounded just like a gunshot

    Hi Nick & Leigh
    The view from the top of those stairs looked amazing & absolutely loved that waterfall.
    The Old Town where you eat your pizza reminded me of Trestevere in Rome❤
    Yet another great vlog guys xx

    Just loving your blogs guys….. To be honest I stumbled across you when I was going though an anxious time and you guys just brought a smile to my face and made me laugh. We have no plans or intentions to go to USA but I have thoroughly enjoyed your blogs from there non the less and also in your lodge and apartment.
    Re France….. that is our absolute favourite place in Europe (we live in Australia) and, as previously mentioned you are visiting some of our favourite places.
    Next year when you come with the van, check out Mandelieu, much cheaper and easier to park and has a lovely small Sandy beach (and Asian supermarket) . Very close to highway so easy to get to places. Finally don’t miss the Masif de L’Esterel, the colours in this area are just amazing!!! You guys will love it 😍

    You tend to find shops/restaurants are open even on Sunday if it’s considered to be a tourist area. The slight exception is supermarkets which may only even then be open until 1pm

    Great blogs The area has astounding beauty as well as some of the best places to eat. A word of warning re saying in Cannes Nice etc don’t eat at the sea front restaurants Ie the first row but the second or third row back, the food is usually better as it’s where the locals eat and probably half the price as the front row bars restaurants etc are Very expensive. You may also find your round of drinks goes up after 2200 hrs.. no your not getting ripped off, well you are in a way because after that time the bars can charge an entertainment surcharge.. they don’t have to have any on but you will still pay the surcharge. Re Nice beach. It’s not sand but stones

    We caught the land train up to the top, from the seafront of Nice, I’ll just rub it in it was very leisurely, beautiful stunning views from up the top, there was a shot where you held the camera over Nice and I have a photograph of same shot. We missed the cemetery’s but that was probs coz we caught the train up and down. Was disappointed with the beach because of big pebbles, very hard to walk on. We did have a dip though. Loved Nice, did you see the water jets square, up where the black and white tiles on the floor, that was great fun.

      We could have taken them to florida and it would ld have been even hotter. Kids don't like heat so should we never take them abroad? They did loads each day which we didn't film. They cried when it was time to go home as they didn't want to leave. They LOVED it

    Nice certainly has some beautiful views, which I guess isn’t difficult when it’s perched on the Mediterranean. As I said in a previous comment, I’m not sure I could handle all of the climbing, but it looks like it’s totally worth it.
