Thanks, CaseyMorgan. I really enjoyed your TR. When we saw the price of a bowl of pea soup, we knew the Hotel de Paris would give us heartburn!

We took that bus from Menton to Nice and wondered the same thing about what it's like in summer.

I'm looking for your Paris TR next.

The Côte d'Azur has been maligned too often in recent years. Yes, a lot of it is overtouristed and overpriced, but anybody with any sense can have a lovely trip there, even at the height of tourist season.
