Turned out Nice again ....

So Nice was a good place to be for Christmas again. The weather was OK (it rained on 23rd, but was mostly dry and sometimes sunny afterwards). Our hotel was almost totally encased in scaffolding - they've finished the tram and are cleaning up the frontages of older properties that are near to it. It'll be OK in the new year, I expect.

We spent Christmas morning travelling the length of the new tramway - fascinating! It's particularly good to see the town (almost) free of roadworks and quite changed by the process.

The pictures are of the Bay des Anges on Christmas Eve
(afternoon and evening).

As ever, the food was pretty good and we ate particularly well at Le Tire Bouchon (translates as The Corkscrew) where the food was pretty special.

All in all, Nice was a lot quieter this year, maybe because of the unsettled weather?
