Nice
We found plenty to entertain us in Nice, including excellent, food, museums, shopping for Wendy and a long tram trip.

The Museum of Modern Art was particularly worthwhile.
The Musée d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain - MAMAC
Of course there is the famous beach which is less marvellous than we had anticipated as it consists of pebbles. Being on the Mediterranean there is virtually no surf (in calm weather) but areas are given over to cafés restaurants and bars and there are large sand pits, kept in place by timber surrounds like one at a kindergarten, where sand has been spread over the stones to facilitate sunbaking.
Along the promenade there are rows of seats on which sit people fully dressed in frocks, shirts and long pants, I even saw a tie, gazing out over the beach below where a proportion of the young women and all the young men sunbake topless.

We didn’t partake in either activity.
But there were plenty more museums and more shopping...
Nice was a fitting place to conclude a very nice visit to southern France.
