Travel by train

Accommodation: Hotels Elvetique a 2 star hotel located near the Place Massena, the most famous square in the city, spending 5 nights for 309 euros, double bedroom, mid-sized is provided for all services (satellite TV, safe, full bathroom with bidet), I believe the excellent value for money
Meals: we recall in particular the Acchiardo restaurant in old town, rustic menu typical of Nice, unchanged for years.
Voyageur-Nissart, environment and youth modern kitchen niçoise some 'creative.
In both restaurants you dine on 12-18 euros a head.
What we particularly liked:
Christmas lights and decorations
Place Massena with magnificent works of art from Jaume Plensa: la Fontain du Soleil with its statues, and a Nice Conversation by 7 statues mounted approximately 6 meters in height, representing the continents of the earth, illuminated by internally lights of different colors that are transmitted from one to another to symbolize the transfer of culture between the peoples of the earth, even the major flooring and marble benches.
Strolling on the Promenade des Anglais and lying in the sun on the stony beach.
