(pronounced Nece-long e) in the South of France, said it was like walking into a fairytale. Said bridges were very ornate.I went to Nice for a few days and it's more like an old old town. Cool, but nothing like my fairy tales. And I can't really say I remember anything about bridges.Maybe they got mixed up with Monte Carlo, which is right down the road?

Vertigo58 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 We work with many accounts in France and I notice almost every large important blvd or street contains the name Rue de la Paix, etc. "Road To Peace". Kind of cool. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rue_de_la_Paix,_Paris I wonder about this pic do they really have chandeliers hanging overhead on the streets? Now thats expensive $$$. Ouh la!

sarahiki Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 thanks everyone; I'll post more when I get out and take some more. Excellent pictures, especially 4-6. When does that building date from? Thanks for posting!There's a Romanesque (12th century) church in there, with all the attached sculpture, and a Roman (1st cent.) amphitheater.
