  • Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2004 | In this program, we follow in the footsteps of 19th-century aristocrats along Nice's Promenade des Anglais. Then we listen to the graceful reshuffling of personal fortunes at the casino in fairy-tale Monaco, and visit the picturesque artist hangouts of Chagall, Matisse, and Picasso. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #riviera

My first student trip involved the coastal train, hanging out the seaside windows , and passing students in and out of the windows at various stopping points. I remember the gigantic peaches on each table, which were delicious, but we didn't realize we had to pay for them! Everyone had to divvy up ! We laughed a lot, of course 🤣!

    I love the scenes in the old town market in Nice. Julia Child herself used to shop amongst all of those vendors for decades. I was especially intrigued by the bit when Rick talks about Socca, the chickpea based flatbread sold in the market. Julia Child filmed a special segment in the market about the Socca for her original “The French Chef” television show nearly fifty years ago. Its astounding they still prepare and transport the same products as they did so many years ago.

    Que belíssimo vídeo ! ...
    Bela matéria, e todo encanto de uma bela cidade.
    A Italia sempre contagia a alma, por sua beleza cultural, sua expressiva beleza física.
    Belas cidades, a beleza de seu povo, e as suas memoráveis histórias.
    Otima tarde a todos.
    Valéu amigo "Rick", sempre seus belos vídeo, belíssimas matérias.

    I grew up watching your shows on PBS; I enjoyed them then, as I do now. Thank you.
