We leave here a week from today (Saturday). We thought we would try to take the tram to the airport at 1.7 euros each instead of an expensive taxi so wanted to see how busy it would be around 10:30 am on a Saturday which is when we will be leaving.
The Alsace-Lorraine Tram station is about 6 blocks away – an easy walk. Once there, you can take an elevator (or an escalator) down. We went ahead and got on the tram towards the airport. It was fairly busy but not that bad (more people were coming into the city than going out at that time of the day on a Saturday). Although we went towards the airport, we didn’t go all the way there. We got off at the Fabron station and took a walk over to the Musee dArt Naif Anatole Jakovsky. Naif or naive art is basically art by people who have no formal art education. Anatole Jakovsy was a French art critic and collector who started the museum and donated it to the city of Nice.
After going to the museum, we stopped for a coffee on the way home and then around 1 pm went out again for lunch at Le Bistro Dalpozzo (on rue dalpozzo next to the restaurant La Vague). Le bistro Dalpozzo has no fixed menu. The menu is on a chalk board – very french and very good. The owner takes care of taking the orders and passing out the food while a young woman takes the orders for wine. When the owner isn’t taking car of customers, he is sitting reading with his two dogs next to his chair.
