Back to Nice

From Nice to Cannes. (32 Km)

After spending 4 days in Menton and making few short sight seeing trips to Monaco and Saint-Agnes we decided to head back to Nice. There seems to be no camp grounds along the Mediterranean shore between Menton and Nice and on Saturday we took a train back to Nice, instead of cycling the same route again. Local trains take bikes on board for free which was very convinient for us. Once in Nice we biked around the city and went to the old part of town full of small restaurants. After having a good night rest in Nice we started for Antibes hoping to camp there. As we approached Antibes my bike computer showed only 18 km so we headed on to Cannes. Once we passed the ritzy-glitzy Cannes we were able to book a last spot in a camp ground close to the ocean, on the outskirts of Cannes. In the evening we went to a beach close by and later on we are going to check out Cannes.


P.S. To my amazement the beaches and water, in Nice or Menton, were not as nice as I was hoping for. The beaches are very rocky and the water is not very warm, but as we went through Antibes and Cannes we started to see some nice sandy beaches. Surprisingly the water is not very warm at all even though the weather even in the winter time stays about 10C.
