I arrived in Nice, France on Wednesday evening. After getting settled at the hotel, I had a little time to explore the city and walked to the beach (Côt d'Azur) and stopped in a few boutiques and candy shops. The architecture here is so beautiful and I really enjoy walking around. Old Town is very close to my hotel and there are endless restaurants, bars, and shops to explore.
I decided to stay in Nice because it is a central location for parts of the French Riviera and a 20 minute train ride to Monte Carlo and 30 minutes from Cannes.
Right now, the Monte Carlo Rolex Masters is going on there and it has always been a dream for me to go! Situated in the cliffs with views of the Mediterranean Sea, Monte Carlo is a 1 week, all men's tournament. The biggest names usually play here and this year, Federer, Djokovic, Nadal, Wawrinka, Ferrer, Tsonga, and many more are in the draw. I have tickets through the finals, so I can give a better description of the tournament when I've been there a few more days.
Until then, here is some of what I have seen so far :)
During my layover in Atlanta, I had a little French champagne to get me started :)
