WEEKEND ACTIVITIES- Examples include :  

SATURDAY  MORNING AT THE CHATEAU

Enjoying sunny morning views from the chateau will be something special if the weather  is good with spectacular views over all of Nice and the Mediterranean . It is particularly lovely in the mornings when it is quiet and not so  many people around.  We make the most of this quiet time with a short wellness session incorporating light movement and reflections.

WALKING TOUR NICE to VILLEFRANCHE SUR MER

The walking tour  is the lovely walk from Nice Port, up over Mount Boron enjoying gorgeous views of the coast and through a  little forest to land down at a  little port in Villefranche sur Mer. Here there is a nice little port side cafe where we lunch.  We return to Nice via the coast road.

CIMIEZ ROSE GARDEN & MUSEUM and GRAVE of  HENRI MATISSE

The beautiful quarter of Cimiez benefits from breathtaking views of the coastline and we take a gentle stroll through the rose garden,  followed by a visit to the museum and  grave of this famous artist who was well known for  his use of a gorgeous shade of blue and can be seen in a number of paintings here.

SATURDAY EVENING

Travel Insurance

I suggest that  all of my  guests purchase Travel Insurance, which is generally inexpensive, but can really save a lot of emotional distress if an unforeseen event occurs.  All EU citizens are advised also to apply for the free European Health Insurance Card ( EHIC)  which gives access to to medically necessary, state-provided healthcare during a temporary stay in France. Please note that this is not an alternative to health insurance  as It does not cover any private healthcare or costs such as a return flight to your home country or lost/stolen property,
