    Oh wow, have just googled it. Looks heavenly. Hope you have a wonderful time. Enjoy Nice too - we had a fabulous time there a few years ago: stayed at the Palais de la Mediterranee. Look forward to hearing about the rest of your trip x

      well, we knew the flight would not be fun, had to change at Heathrow whic was built by the company that makes Habitrails for gerbils, so the first few days we are doing the unthinkable and actually staying at good hotels. This could become a habit.

      Such a treat! I have such wonderful memories of the few really good hotel stays we've had. Please enjoy!
