3 Perfect Days in the Cote d'Azur

We recently returned from the French Riviera. With four kids under 4 in tow, it was far from your typical visit - more ice cream, nap, and train breaks... less lounging on the beach with fruity drinks in hand. Still, it was a great time and we managed 2 day trips + 2 days in Nice over a 4-day holiday. And here, your three day itinerary: Day 1: On arrival, we were advised to uberX to the hotel. For a mere 16€, we were deposited at our hotel door far more swiftly than a bus, train, or (from what I hear) taxi would have offered. After a small mixup (I booked the  Ibis Nice Centre Gare  but believed I had / wanted to book the  Ibis Styles Nice Centre Gare ), we managed to find a room in the hotel we originally wanted, at an amazing rate (117€ / night with breakfast included, for a huge suite with a sofa bed, balcony, room divider, and large bathroom). Talk about lucky... I couldn't have beaten the rate with vrbo or airbnb, and we could not have been more pleased with the hotel. Esp
