"Carnaval in Nice was fun this year. The new route is much better and the stands in Place Massena are amazing. The night shows are the best with those huge floats drifting past Nice's beautiful buildings, it's sort of eerie and then down on the ground it's all fun and music and chucking things around. I love it, worth braving the weather for, maybe!"
"Get on your bike. Velo Bleu are a recent addition to the city of Nice. A network of bike stations are dotted around the city and all you have to do is sign up on line or go through the process at the digital screens at the bike stations themselves and you have a fantastic added freedom of the city.
Just pick up a bike at one station and return it to another. Cycle the Promenade like the locals do or use them as a fast get around during your holidays.
You can sign up for a day, a week, a month or a year. Make sure you go on line and check it out or you may end up paying per hour which is always more expensive. The website is available in English. A welcome addition to the city of Nice."
"We went to Nice for the final of the 6 Nations Rugby championship and because Ireland was in it, we were recommended to go to Ma Nolans in old Nice.
It was really packed with Irish supporters and a few Welsh, and the atmosphere was electric.
The pints of Guinness were flowing fast and we spent a great day there. We also had food, a huge fish and chips and some Calamari, both were good, and perfect pub food for the occasion.
Ireland won the match at the last kick of the game and the emotions ran high in the bar, this was one of our best days on the Rivera, even though it had nothing to do with the South of France, more like the large numbers of friendly Irish who live on the Riviera.
So regarding what to do in Nice, I would definitely go to Ma Nolans when there is any rugby match where Ireland are playing."
"If you are lucky enough to visit Nice in summer, I can recommend that you take the train ride from Nice through the mountains to Tende and back again. You will just go higher and higher into an almost different world of 100s of year ago. It is completely upspoiled.
The train goes through Peille, L'Escarene, Breil sur Roya and lots of other tiny little mountain towns and villages. The scenery is spectacular and the welcome extremely warm everywhere you go.
You can get off at any stop and explore, then catch a later train either up or down. The Carte Isabelle that you buy at the train station covers your trip for 12 euros for the day.
We went to Tende and had lunch and a few drinks, went to the loacl museum which is all about the Valley Des Merveilles (Marvels) in the Mercantour National Park which is accessed from the town. Brilliant!"
"Personally, one of my favourite things to do in Nice is take a walk up the chateau in the old town. There is an elevator but you'll live to be 100 if you manage all the steps every morning!"
