We did a walk around Nice and the Sunday market. Bought delicious socca and cut fruit to nibble on drive back to Sablet. We had a great time visiting Nice and some of the surrounding towns and villages along the French Riviera. The hotel La Perouse was conveniently located near old town Nice on the Mediterranean Sea.

Finally got the opportunity to dine at La Merenda in Nice, France. Tiny, only 24 seats, half of which are small stools. Intimate, you end up visiting with diners at next table. It's an experience and the food and service were excellent. I hope to return.
