The last time we visited Nice I pretty much summed up the week-long trip in a single post, Une semaine à Nice, because that’s kind of how it felt—time just flew by. We kept comforting ourselves by saying it was just a preliminary trip, and that we’d come back to explore the things we missed.

Well, we’re back! And on the top of our mental list (besides exploring more of the Vieux Nice) was spending more time outside, in the natural environment. Chris was very keen to this, and found a whole stack of “rando” guides full of various hikes.

At the bottom of the Une semaine à Nice, there are two pictures I took driving along the Côte d’Azur where the stunning orange-red Massif de l’Esterel meets the sea. So on Tuesday we drove down to Théoule-sur-Mer and started hiking up toward some of the red rocks.
