Imagine, you wander through the narrow streets of the old town in Nice, stopping at the market to buy breakfast – socca, the local speciality, a pancake made from chick peas. The sun is shining, and as you reach the beach, the sound of the sea lapping gently is soothing... relax.
You break for lunch at an authentic café and enjoy a tasty dish and post a selfie on Facebook which makes your friends back home in the rain jealous. You return to the beach, read a book and savour a delicious ice cream. Then you wander back to your apartment to get dressed for an apero at a local bar, have dinner and wander the wiggly streets of old Nice listening to free music, soaking up the ambience and people watching.
Nice is famous for its glitz and glamour, for being the playground of the rich and famous. Everyone from the Queen of England to world leaders and billionaires come up here to play and party and to soak up the sun that shines more than 300 days a year. But what if you’re not a millionaire – can you afford Nice? Is it possible to take a break without breaking the bank? Well yes, absolutely, and in fact, it’s not at all hard to live on a budget here and enjoy life to the full!
