The next stop of the Evans Family Spring Break Mega Road Trip™ was Nice, France!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk1dL_GMrSg5YVVtS7bDU2VM9No8yjm8KE4wT5Lx_plSOI9u3UepfJ_9kixcElsgTTW3bpTnifXTlnWveAjvkiumsPv_HfLw-Mdh4HPOrwzu5L8ixPk8WzpiOpSCEPQ5BS2tt5IP_x4Vik/s640/20170404_092339.jpg)
The view from our five-star airbnb balcony. It was a very pleasant evening when we drove into town.

After a good night's sleep we were up early to explore this big city on the Riviera.
The main train station. | Smooth as silk tram tracks.

Then we walked the block or so down to the beach. Jane was in heaven! I've never seen a bigger genuine smile on this girl!

After throwing rocks in for awhile, the kids stripped down to their birthday suits and jumped in! When in France!
After we got the kids semi-dry and clothed, we walked back into the heart of town and stumbled up the. best. macaroons. ever at Gourmandises d ANGEA.

Nothing epitomizes that glamour more than the Hotel Negresco - Nice's finest (and most expensive) hotel. The building is also a historic monument and symbol of the city. I just love the pink roof, what can I say.
We got some lunch and strolled in the sunshine back towards the tram stop in Place Massena.

Snippets of our morning walk around Nice:
Our family in Nice, France on Tuesday April 4th 2017.
Then we drove to the cute town of Avignon!

ReplyDeleteoh my gosh beautiful - makes me SO happy we picked Nice for our day in that area. But I have to know- what is the name of the macaroon shop? I want those floors almost as much as I wanna have a box (no coffee or alcohol ones for me either!)
