Hi all. Me and my friends are going to visit Nice from August 2 up to August 9 2008. What are the weather conditions that time? Is there anything particular we should notice?
Also i have been checking some low budget hotels like Trocadero or Kyriad.
Does anyone have any recommendations to make? We will hire car, so distance from center is not a matter.

Thanks in advance

Would we have enough time to see Nice, Eze and Monte Carlo if we decide to rent a van? If so, do you have any recommendations where we ca rent a van?

Please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi,
I will be traveling as a party of 5 adults and am trying to find somewhere nice but inexpensive to stay in Nice at the end of December for a week. Can anyone suggest anywhere that is more around the £300 mark rather than £600??
Thanks

where can I get a bus to Nice or Eze near the harbor where the cruise ships dock. How long is the trip to each and the cost to each...Thank you

We are arriving Thursday, April 17th. It looks like it is expected to rain Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Does it look like a steady rain over the whole region? Any info would be great. Thanks.

Hi!

I'm thinking of going in July(21-24)on a Northern Italy-French Riviera circuit which among others, includes 4 nights in Nice(1 day trip to Monaco, 1 day trip to Cannes, St Tropez and Grasse, 1 free day in Nice). Accommodation and breakfast are included, so I was wondering maybe someone could tell me where to eat on a budget, or to buy food...Are fruits cheaper at the market than in the supermarket? How much would a kilo of bananas or oranges be? or a bottle of water? anything that you think should know would be greatly appreciated.

I read about nice haircuts being done at Salon Identity, does anyone know how much is a haircut?

How much can fees at entrances to museums or other attractions range from?

I'm trying to figure out how much money would be ok for a 3 days-4 nights.

Thank you very much in advance.:-)

What would the price (approx) be for a taxi from train station to Avenue Gravier (this is 5Km away). How do you book a taxi in Nice, are they outside of the station, I don't want to walk late at night (about 10-11PM)!

Many Thanks

Bonjour

Pardon. Je ne parle pas francais tres bien.

Long haul from New Zealand, complete with cycles. My wife and I are arriving Cote d'Azur Airport at Friday 25 April at 13:50.

We're trying to decide whether to get a taxi to our hotel (Stars Antibes, 905 Chemin du Valbosquet, Antibes 06600) or assemble our bikes at the Airport and ride there.

We'd prefer to ride I think. Can you forsee any problems:

1) finding somewhere to assemble at airport?
2) cycling approx 10 km along Blvd de la Plage (is there a cycleway nearby?) towards Antibes then 3 km inland to hotel?

Thanks for any suggestions. Merci.

Does anyone know how long in the car it will take to get from Cannes to Nice and from Nice to Monte Carlo?
We will be traveling around the week of April 19th. We are going to the tennis tournment on Monday, April 20th in Monte Carlo and our hotel is in Cannes.
Also, what time of day is traffic the worst?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I have finally got sick of taxi service and would try the bus.

Is it safe to ride airport bus at about 10 – 11 p.m.?
And 5 – 6 a.m.? Can they suddenly cancel a bus early in the morning?
What about the luggage – it isn’t supervised, is it? Does it often disappear?

Thanks!

Hi all!

I will be going to Nice on the 22nd of April, and staying for 3 days. For that short time, will it be possible to visit Cannes and Monaco too? What places should I not miss while there? I have heard that the South of France is extra gorgeous during April.


Also, do you have suggestions as to where to stay in Nice?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,
I have some tram and bus questions

Thanks

1) Nice Train station to Hostel - Villa Saint Exupery-

Does a tram run from the 'train station' to this hostel?

Railway Station, Avenue Thiers

2) Can you get a bus from Nice Airport to the train station (non-stop)?

We have an early morning flight into Nice on 1 May and will travel on to Aix-en-Provence same day. Since this is Labor Day/Ascension Day, we're concerned about holiday crowds. Would appreciate any help/advice re:
1. Can we reserve tickets for the bus to Aix?
2. Train vs. bus??
3. Since more direct bus doesn't run on holiday, any opinions on taking the longer bus route? Does it make lots of stops? -----Thanks!!

I am trying to find a reasonable source to rent a car at the Nice airport for the month of May. Most of the websites I have checked are charging at least 870 Euros for an intermediate category car. Any suggestions?

We are staying in Nice during May and would welcome any 4 star hotel recommendations. All replies would be grateful received. Our thanks in anticipation.

Just wondering if the new tramway is fully operational by now. They were conducting numerous test runs with empty trams on my visit in November.

Looking at a Google map, my guesthouse(Thyjeff)backs up to the main rail line AND a freeway! LOL My luck. Anyone know if it is on the good side of the street?
Address: 36 Boulevard Raimbaldi
Thanks.....

Hello,

I'll be arriving Nice by air and would like to go to Avignon. Is there a bus or train from the airport that goes straight to Avignon? I don't want to stay in Nice as I have been there before. I would like to visit Arles and surrounding cities from Avignon before heading up to Paris.

Any suggestions or help on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hello there,

I am looking to find somewhere classy (but not overpriced), NOT TOURISTY, somewhere I can go with my husband at the end of the day to enjoy quiet drink and to listen to piano or some lovely french chanson.

thanks very much in advance!!!

I need to know where to get the TAM BUS 400 to St Paul de Vence from Nice airport. Is it from inside the airport or on the main road? I will be arriving at terminal 1 on Saturday 1st of march.
Many thanks

We are flying in to Nice but would like to spend a few days in the Santa Margherita/Portofino area. Should we drive or take a train from Nice airport to the Ligurian coast ? My concern is whether or not we will need a car to explore the area around SML ? I would prefer not to pay for a car that could be sitting in a garage for 4 days. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I've heard there were almost exclusively "bars" in Nice. And no clubs (as in discothèques in French..where people go more to dance (not just drink :-))...and that if you wanted to go to a club you'd have to go to Cannes or Monaco and pay a fortune for a drink :-).

Is there any truth to that or is that simply a rumour spread by people who don't know the city well enough? Quite frankly, I couldn't imagine a city of over 300,000, which also happens to be a major tourist place, not having any (dance) clubs?

Hi
Is it easy enough to begin cycling from Nice airport and begin cycling along coast to west? (Not sure about roads/traffic near airport).

Alternatively, is there a train we can catch at or near airport (complete with bicycles) going Marseille direction? Maybe we can exit the airport this way and hop off and cycle somewhere along the route.

Thanks from New Zealand!

Any nice hostels in the city (not far from train station) as I'll be going to Monaco for the tennis in April, what is the last train back from Monaco to Nice?.

It will be good to see Nice, and Monaco at the same time.

My daughter, 18, is taking a gap year between HS and college. She is planning a six-month stay (Sept - Mar) through the Academy of French Language in Nice, which appears to be a well-organized immersion training institute in the south of France. The academy arranges housing with a flatmate, but it will be my daughter's first time away from home. Apart from taking the usual precautions, are there any unique safety issues she should be aware of while living in this area and in these circumstances?

I'll be visiting the Riviera (flying into Nice) with 3 friends on May 20-26 (during the Cannes festival). We'd like to spend time primarily in Nice, Cannes, and Monaco. Our problem: because of the limited availability in the area during that week, we're having difficulty finding decent accommodations for 4 people (especially Cannes and Monaco). Hotels that are in our price range (<$250/night) look pretty crumby and are 5-6 kilometers outside of our target areas. So should we (1) spend 1 or 2 nights each in different hotels near the areas we'd like visit, using public transportation to get around (keeping in mind that we'd like to stay out pretty late on a few nights); or (2) rent an attractive apartment in Nice for the week and rent a car to get around. Thanks!
