If you don't mind travelling a bit further, Digne, which is ment to be beautiful, is three hours from Nice. Just make sure you check the time table – the trains only run about six times per day.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21986 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14937
Don't worry about missing the train back, the driver is in there too! It gets back to Nice at 5pm. The scenery is spectacular and the trains and stations enchanting. It's cheap and if you're over 55 or a student (or une famille nombreuse) you will get a big discount.

Go in February when you can leave a spring-like Nice and be in the depths of winter in 30 minutes with giant icicles and snow fields. August is lavender festival time.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14937 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13631
It's a hill-top village with stunning view along the coast. There are some more villages nearby for you to explore if you are not very fond of the noisy crowd. You may find them more fascinating than the busy Nice!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13631 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9823 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9823
