http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34373 Superficially, Nice can seem like an expensive city, but it does not have to be as there is plenty to see and do for free. One of the most fulfilling things you can do here – and a great way to take in the feel and the atmosphere of this beautiful city – is to just walk around taking photographs. There is joy to be found here in every corner: relaxing in Jardin Botanique on a tree-shaded park bench to stay cool in the midday sun; or people watching from one of the many authentic cafes in true Gallic style! Just grab a coffee and a freshly prepared sandwich, then sit back on Promenade des Anglais and simply watch the world go by.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34373 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23292
It's a tiny new (opened May 2009) good-looking restaurant/take-away by Place Rossetti offering simply five types of roasted meats, with a choice of either mash, roast potatoes or ratatouille on the side - eat in and you get a mesclun salad included in the price.

We've tried the beef, which is served French-style rare, and lamb so far and they were both delicious: seriously good value at 11euro each. After sharing one generous take-out serving of lamb between two at our apartment rental we were so impressed we went back to dine in the next day.

It's a brilliant concept and a very welcome addition (for carnivores at least) to the Vieille Ville's restaurant scene. Go early if you want the half chicken - or the window seat!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23292 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20555
The place is great and the decor is superb. The floor staff (Igor and JP) is the same as at the former address. They do speak English
fluently which is a great help if yours is basic.

The food is simple and yet full of flavours, taste and colour. The service is excellent and the desserts are... out of this world.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20555 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17593
The cost per journey is a standard fare of 1.30 euros. You can also get a day pass for four euros entitling you to unlimited travel for the day. You can buy tickets at any of the self-service stations where you catch the tram.

The journey from Place Massena to Pont Michel takes approx 16 minutes and there is a tram every four minutes during peak times and every eight minutes off-peak. Trams run from 4 am until 2.30 am the next morning.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17593 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16827 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16827 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9823 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9823 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5994 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5994 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5940
