Arles to Nice




We checked our of our house in Arles Saturday morning and walked around Arles for a couple of hours before we headed off to Nice. Milou and Yann headed back to Toulouse and we were sorry to see them go. We arrived in Nice around 6:00 p.m., parked and trudged our luggage to the hotel I had booked back in September. We arrived only to find out our reservation had been transferred to another hotel. So, we trudged over there. They told us we were not booked at that hotel, but a third hotel. The third hotel was a 10 minute walk with all of our luggage. It was very frustrating. The hotel was a one star instead of a two star and I was not at all happy. We wasted hours of our time going from hotel to hotel trying to figure out where we were staying.

We finally got out onto the streets of Nice around 9 p.m. and walked around for awhile. The fireworks started (July 14 is Bastille Day in France) at 10 p.m. and the girls were very happy to see the fireworks since we missed July 4 at home.
