Nice is pretty self explanatory. We stayed at a hostel that has been repeatedly named France's best hostel, and is also on the top 10 best hostel worldwide list every year. Besides the comfortable beds, lush gardens, outdoor patio, incredibly gracious and knowledgeable staff, accommodating arrangements, 1Euro beers, on-site chef, very cheap home made dinner, free shuttle service, free internet, laundry service, coffee 24hrs-a-day, book exchange, etc. the hostel could have been better.
Going skiing in the French Alps is incredibly easy to do, even from Nice, because there is a shuttle service for only 1Euro to the Alpine village of Auron, where we had access to discounted rentals (also thanks to the hostel) and fairly cheap lift tickets. We only skied half a day, but had a blast.
We also made tons of friends, i'm glad we met all of you. Facebook us?
