Hmmmm - do I go to the Juan-les Pins or not - is there even a place for me.."You go to Juan-les Pins, with your carefully designed topless swimsuit - you get an even suntan on your back and on your legs da da dadar"....Peter Sarstedt...from "Where do you go to my Lovely"
This is one of the private beaches and a lot of the holiday people have already gone back....hmmmmm what to do?? There is actually room - you either go with the private beach or public beach - both are wall to wall people of all shapes and sizes and most of the women are in bikinis - nobody cares and most are very brown - sun baking is a big past-time here.....I am living only 10 mins walk from here so I feel like I am a local.
The day trips for there: Eze Village, up a pretty steep climb from Eze-sur-Mer for about 2.5 hrs to the scenic village of Eze with it's winding streets, albeit filled with touristy shops but the views are spectacular of the Mediterranean - then return from the back of Eze village, across the pont and up a hill with fabulous views again even overlooking Eze Village - challenging due to the height, heat and rocks on the way but scenically beautiful.
Another day trip was a walk from Biot Village (the home of some great glass blowing factories) to Valbonne - a lovely, old, oroginal yet less touristy village - this walk took us alongside the river Brague - a lovely, shady, easy 2.5 hr walk.
There are also short trips to Cannes (film festival fame) and Monaco if you want.
Bus fares are so cheap here - 1 Euro from beginning to end even if you change buses. So cheap!
