Hi and thank you in advance. My wife and I are going to nice for 5 days of R%26amp;R and fun. We are flying into Nice but have hotel reservations at both Le meridians in Nice and Monte Carlo. I know their only 10 miniutes away but which city should we acually sleep? I know it%26#39;s a tough question. We want a good beach, good food and not a ton of sightseing but will see the best.
Any idea which Le meridian is better???

If you really mean it when you say you want %26quot;a good beach%26quot;, then I am afraid Nice is the wrong town for you, unless you like hobbling around on large stones.
Monaco has a lovely sandy beach at the eastern end of the town. On the other hand Nice has a lot of good affordable eating, and you can always ignore the great sightseeing opportunities.
(I wouldn%26#39;t bank on the %26quot;10 minutes%26quot; between towns unless you are travelling by helicopter or your real name is Lewis Hamilton).

You think everyone knows who Lewis Hamilton is...LOL.
That%26#39; i did know Nice had rocky beaches. That makes my decigion easer. How far is Nice from Monte Carlo

Hey Andrew,
Who the heck is Lewis Hamilton? Is he any relation to Speedy Gonzalez?

Suspended from driving in France for a month after being caught speeding at 122 mph (196 km/h) on a French motorway.
Could probably get you from Nice to Monaco in under five minutes.

Just to add my two penn%26#39;orth - Le Meridien in Monaco also has it%26#39;s own private beach and swimming pool. Once you%26#39;re on the beach, there%26#39;s no traffic nearby, unlike the racetrack that is the Promenade des Anglais. Nice is great for many things, but a quiet beach holiday is not one of them. If all you want to do is relax on a sun lounger, choose Monaco.

I just stayed at Le Meridien Nice for 9 days and saw the outside of Le Meridien Monte Carlo, and the one in Monte Carlo looks much nicer. The one in Nice also is not on the beach--you have to cross the street and the Promenade. We took a taxi from Nice to Monte Carlo (approx. 80-Euros--yikes!), and it took us about 20 minutes.

Great thanks, I canceled the Nice hotel. Now, What would be the top 3 or 4 must sees in Monte Carlo and Nice
|||
As to your last question. I can%26#39;t think of even one %26quot;must see%26quot; in Monaco unless it is the Oceanography museum or the Prince%26#39;s Classic Car museum. As for Nice, there are sooooomany. Like art?
The Chagall, the Matisse, the Momac, the Beau Arts and on and on. The old town in Nice, the Russian Orthodox Church. Just take your pick...and that%26#39;s only in Nice!
