We were lucky enough to spend the weekend in and around Nice on the Côte d'Azur. So lovely to be back there. I love the rococo architecture and the way they can paint the town orange and yellow without looking ridiculous.
In the nearby villages perched on hill tops, time seems to have stood still. The several hundred year old houses aren't empty, but remain totally unchanged, simply inhabited by yet another new generation.
Rich travellers on their Grand Tour in the nineteenth century wouldn't have used the same forms of transport, or had the crowds but they would certainly have admired many of the same views.
