    We're going in September. Friends of ours went about a month ago and they enjoyed it. Apparently the hotel complexes are away from things so they stayed in most of the time and just chilled. We were planning on doing the same

    I've just booked to go to Nice with my wife and 2 youngest daughters for 4 nights in August, I'm quite looking forward to it.
    Its my 50th birthday and 25th wedding anniversary in October and we have booked 3 nights in Florence, getting the train down to Rome for 3 nights and then flying to Paris for 2 nights. I wish we were going to Berlin instead of Paris now though.

    We went to a wedding in Beverley (Beverley Barn) last week (Thursday-Sunday, with the 'do' on Friday).
    The wedding was the worst that we've ever been to, but we went to an adventure park a few miles away on Saturday, which was the best one that we've ever been to . . . . all bairns and adults loved it :emoticon-0148-yes:
    Most importantly, we visited a farm and came across this little nostalgic gem . . . . it's a bit worn, but it was lovely to see :emoticon-0105-wink:

    If you like pizza they don't come much better than here mate ...

    ... https://www.pizza-cresci-nice.com/

    As it's August pop down in the afternoon and book a table for the outside terrace in the evening. The pizzas are superb and the atmosphere truly wonderful, the house wine is lovely and great value for money but don't bother with the expensive desserts would be my advice ...

    ... instead stroll down to https://www.fenocchio.fr/ for great ice creams, a lovely ambiance and music in the square :emoticon-0103-cool:

    I appreciate the information. We'll definitely go to these. It's always great to have recommendations, when I've never been there before
