Had a great trek today, although the bus was certainly a welcome respite along the way. From here at St Jean Cap Ferrat we went to Mont Boron  a small, affluent suburb of Nice that occupies the mountain that rises up on the eastern edge of the city. It creates the scenic divide between Nice and neighbouring Villefranche-sur-Mer curving out into the ‘Baie des Anges’ forming the famous sweep of Nice’s sea front. From its heights, as you can see below, you  can look down over the entire sweeping cityscape of Nice, the horizon of the Mediterranean sea and also over the picturesques Bay of Villefranche

After that trek, it was downhill all the way (thank God) and into the  quaint town of Beaulieu where we could catch our breath, eat lunch, before the trek home around the foreshore to St Jean Cap Ferrat.
