A Week in Nice, Nice, France

It was nearly six years since I鈥檇 last been to Nice 鈥撀燬eptember 2019. That time I鈥檇 stayed just 4 nights; 5 nights in聽2015, but this time I made it a whole week. I decided that it would be nicer to stay in an apartment rather than a hotel for the longer spell and found a lovely one-bedroom flat in Appartements Mass茅na via Booking.com. Based in the Jean Med茅cin district (Jean Med茅cin was a politician) and near Place Mass茅na where I鈥檇 stayed in 2019, I knew the area quite well and that it was very central 鈥� just a 10-minute walk down to the Vieux Nice (Old Nice) and the sea 鈥� the Mediterranean!

It was a simple but very nice flat with French windows leading out to a small private terrace. The owner Delphine was a wonderful host, always ready to answer questions and she popped round briefly one evening and we had a nice chat. The flat was on the first floor but you can see from the photo below that the apartments had a wonderful old lift!

To get to the apartment was just about as easy as can be. Delphine had said I should take the No.2 tram from the airport (Terminal 1) and it came direct to Jean Med茅cin station, which was only about two minutes away from the flat. I bought a return ticket for 鈧�10. Delphine and someone at the airport told me if it was free to the next stop (Terminal 2) and I could buy cheaper tickets there, but having been on the go since 4.30am, I was quite content to pay the 鈧�10 and not have to get off at the next stop. However, if you鈥檙e looking to buy a season ticket 鈥� one for a few days etc. 鈥� then it might be worthwhile and there were various options if you plan to travel around. ......
