Angel Bay—the very name evokes endless daydreams. And after visiting, you'll find it truly lives up to its name. The sand on the beach is fine and soft, and the water is crystal clear, making it an excellent choice for strolling or swimming. The beachfront facilities are also excellent, with a variety of restaurants and leisure amenities, allowing you to enjoy the natural beauty while fulfilling all your daily needs.

As the name suggests, it's an area with an old-fashioned feel. There are a lot of delicious restaurants. In particular, there were a lot of famous gelato shops, so people were waiting in line. ☺️

It happened to be winter when I went there, so there were almost no people on the beach. The sea water was not as blue as in summer, but the light blue hue was also unique. Although it is also close to the Mediterranean Sea, the sea breeze is much milder than that in Tel Aviv and Alexandria, Egypt, and the climate is mild and pleasant. No wonder Matisse went to Nice for recuperation in winter. This time there was a strike, and the city's transportation was on strike. I just walked around the old town and the beach, strolled on the English Promenade, and picked up stones on the beach. I could spend a whole day there.

The walk to the top of the hill can be completed within half an hour, which is rather comfortable and suitable for family travelers. There were some ruins of an ancient church and fortress. The panorama of Nice is also breathtaking for travelers. The visit could normally be completed within two hours.

Cannes in France is famous for the annual Cannes Film Festival. Cannes has 15 kilometers of coastline, about 7.5 kilometers of which are beaches. This is the famous port of Horseheads and beaches on the Mediterranean coast of France. The fine white sand of Cannes Beach is replenished before the season begins in mid-May.

I visited this cathedral, said to be the most beautiful in Russia and abroad, on Easter Day.
Surprisingly, there were very few Russians there, and I got the impression that there were more tourists.
