The pool at our hotel on the rooftop overlooked the Meditteranean. We spent the day there, in the hot tub, in the pool and no, we are not sharing the topless photos.
I arranged for drivers every evening so we were picked up and taken to St. Paul de Vence in Nice. Saint Paul de Vence is a charming hilltop fortified village in Provence, filled with art galleries, boutiques and sidewalk cafes. It's hard to find something ugly about this quaint village. A walk through its winding streets reveals elegant fountains, vine-covered stone walls and statues tucked into nooks in the walls. There are breathtaking views of mountains and sea. Even the ground below is attractive, as the cobblestones are laid into the shapes of flowers. The fortified village itself is a site, with its medieval fortress walls surrounding the city. The entrance was erected in the 1400s.
As you walk through the village, you look up and see some of the artwork embedded in the walls. If you walk towards the south side of the village and climb the steps to the view, it overlooks a gorgeous cemetery, surrounding hills and mountains. At Bastion St Remy on the west side, you can glimpse the sea. In Saint Paul, you can see the snow-covered Alps to one side, and the glistening Mediterranean Sea the other direction. From there we went to dinner at Le Clos des Arts, one of the small luxury hotels of the world and dined on the most breathtaking patio with views of the village in the distance and a landscape equivalent to a still life portrait of a Tuscan 
countryside. Once again, the cameras emerged as the gals embraced the magnificent scenery, the delicious food (I mean, realllllllllly, having a bad meal in France is an oxymoron) and… the perfect weather.
