Lauren- Bags of Character! Nice, Provence-Alps-French Riviera

Holiday Rental Description

Lauren has bags of character. It's recently re-decorated with cool cream walls, original local prints, French style furniture and has every modern convenience you could wish for. Your only dilemma will be whether you turn left or right out of the front door because you're in the middle of all the action. The historic Old Town is on one side with its charming narrow cobbled streets and a slightly more modern Nice is on the other. Boutique pattiseries, stylish homeware and fashion, restaurants and bars lay to your right. Decisions, decisions!

Great breakfasts and lunches in a contemporary atmosphere where the well dressed office workers mingle with tourists looking for a good place to 'do lunch'.
