For European travel I’ve found books written by Rick Steves to be invaluable. In May my wife and I traveled to Provence and looking for Rick’s hotel recommendations for Nice one was the Hotel Victor Hugo. His description noted a small hotel run by the owner Gilles and a 10 minute walk to the famous beachfront which has many restaurants. I booked a 4 night stay. Our stay was wonderful and Gilles who speaks English was a delightful and helpful host. A buffet breakfast is included and here we enjoyed meeting people and sharing travel information with people from around the globe. The hotel is located on ground floor of a 6 story 19th century former mansion and in a neighborhood of 19th century former mansions. Across the street is a beautiful park with a fountain, statues, and a playground were we enjoyed a picnic lunch.
