Sunday in Nice


Needed a slow morning and by-chance slept in until after 10:00. We only have WiFi at the Airbnb, so we fall into lazing away a couple of hours and catching up online. 


I discovered the Nespresso-type coffeemaker isn’t piercing the capsules, but manage a DIY piercing that yields a decent cafe, but CA decides to take a pass. 



We eventually decide to have lunch in the Old City, choosing a brasserie on the street below the flat on Rue de Marché that we stayed in in December 2016. L’Ecurie translates as “stable,” and you can just about envision. 


Prix Fixe: 3 Courses

Entrée


Daurade (Sea Bream) 

Crème Brûlée 


Linguine Bolognese 


CA orders a 3 course prix fixe menu

and I opt for Linguine Bolognese—a safe choice, but also a favorite. CA shares a bit of his first course, and the waiter brings two spoons with the Crème Brûlée. 


After déjeuner, we walk through the closed market to Rue du Poissionaire to locate the Airbnb we move to on Thursday. Luckily, it’s close by Safari and La St🫒ia. And, between a Macron shop and a Gelato place. Can’t go wrong!


Walked to the Promenade and sat by the glistening ocean for awhile, the CA went to find a Rugby World Cup France 🇫🇷 2023 t-shirt, his one souvenir, and I wandered the shops on Rue Jean-Médicin. 


The best Monoprix is there, so I bought Burrata, Prosciutto, tomatoes, Canteloupe, Comté, Butter, and a multi-grain Naguette to add to the amazing Olive mixture we bought at the Flower Market earlier in the day. 


A quiet evening with dinner in—8,800 steps today ça suffit.
