Day 1 in France

Thursday/Friday July 15/16-


We had an easy 9 hour flight over to Frankfurt on Air Canada even though She and I were at the back of the bus in 40 K&F but surprisingly  we had a comfortable flight and the inflight service was fine. After a five hour sleep and a quick breakfast we were landing. 

We had a 90 minute layover then it was off to Nice with Lufthansa. This flight was just over an hour and the picturesque approach into Nice is along the coast line and over the Mediterranean


32 C and humid when we arrived in Nice. We took about a 30 minute taxi ride to our first  hotel of the trip, Chateau Eza 


We had a beautiful evening eating dinner outdoors at the Hotel. Started with a a glass of champagne on one balcony then they moved us to a smaller private balcony for our dinner service. Food and wine was outstanding and both She and I said, if we had back in Canada, the bread//rolls like they do here in France, we would weigh about 500 pounds! Off to bed feeling like we were off to a terrific start to our France adventure.
