Rooftop bars in Paris
Recently i've stumbled upon this a website called Allrooftops.com as i was planning for my European Easter holiday. Since every year i have a crazy party holiday, next year i'm thinking of doing something relaxing like going to the snow and chilling out at nice bars.

Lyon and Au Revoir France
Lyon, France
Beautiful little city we only have the day/night here and obviously it is not enough!
According to some traveller Lyon is famous for its good food famous destination for the gourmet traveller. I have to say that i didnt get to experience the foodie thing but i manage to taste Lyons traditional pork sausages which is mouth watering and a little too generous on the portion.
The little hotel we are stayed at got this cute little balcony which i was very impressed at and sitting around reading and having tea on a balcony in france is one of the thing i always dreamed of and it is now accomplished, which oh la la my heart sings...
Avignon the walled city!
Avignon, France
Ever wonder how it feels like to live inside a walled city? call me a nerd but i adore 'King Arthur' and 'Robin Hood' when i was a kid. Now that im older i have some sort of fascination with everything from Victorian
Era.
So.. in order to satisfy my childhood imagination and of course tasting a bit of wine from cote-d-azure region as per my travelling friend advise (of course!) i have decided to tag along to Avignon. Funny thing is we arrived in this ultra modern train station which nowhere look medieval to me, but after a 15 bus ride from the station all i see is one big giant wall...yes i was extremely impressed, when i stepped into the city wall i was speechless, its such a different feeling and my brain is starting to imagine things on how things would look like back then.
The current Avignon is pretty modern with shops, H&M and even an Irish Bar stashed away conveniently around the corner. Plais Du Pope is very interesting however pretty expensive to get in and it takes you at least a day to get around and guarantee you'll get sore feet from walking around on cobble stone all day.
One thing i learned from it is DO NOT PAY TO SEE THE HALF BUILD BRIDGE, just the walk around outside the wall and you'll bound to have a better view of it.
There is not much night entertainment there but nice little city to relax and unwind. Therefore to entertain ourselves we did a wine tour and it was fun, the wine region is stunning and people are just very nice and friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed the little villages, i even managed to fall asleep in the middle of a public picnic table. When i look up i can see the sunshine trough the green leaves its so beautiful that i recommend you to actually have a micro sleep ...zzZZZzzz

Bonjour Nice!
Nice, France
Nice is nice hahaha! ok not that funny but the fact is Nice is very nice...oui! very very nice...Enough of the niceness so amazing beach, great people, an hour and a bit from monaco, easy to get around and endless beautiful view im not suprised if the french dont travel! As you can see most of the beach are filled with rocks instead of sands and it is a bit of a mission to actually go for a swim. Really you dont wanna hit your head on the rocks incase you slipped.
Talking about view as i mentioned everywhere you turn around its like a post card. Beside lazing around and stuffed myself with great food i did managed to get to do a day trip to surrounding area. To make it easier i'll list it below!
Day Trip:
- Monaco
- Jean Cap Du Ferrat, very very very amazing view...breathtaking
- Cannes, Old town and Stand Up Paddle in one of the quiet beach
Activities:
- Eat at Truffle Restaurant, everything with truffles from entree to dessert, if you got budget go for lunch option so treat yourself to a little luxury
- Walk around old town, its like a maze you bound to get lost in it (literaly)
- Cycle along the beach
If i have the chance the next trip i would love to go sailing, the hostel im staying with got a sailing daytrip again...i missed it because of course...the sad limited time..... :(
Have fun x
