Connecting the Louvre with the Place de la Concorde, the enchanting Tuileries Garden (Jardin des Tuileries) occupies an area of 25 hectares and offers countless photo opportunities and areas to relax on the lawns or while taking a seat next to one of the many beautiful basins or statues.
The nearest metro station is Tuileries on line 1 and I’d really recommend taking a walk through the gardens or even stopping for a coffee to watch the world go by. The whole area is absolutely beautiful, and the gardens make a nice change from pounding the city streets or exploring the city's many museums.
But be warned, many of the cafes in the area which cater to tourists can charge around 4-5 Euro for a coffee, so choose carefully.

Considered to be the cradle of the old town of Nice, Castle Hill is a fortified site, offers stunning panoramic views over the Promenade des Anglais and the old port of Nice and despite nearly five visits, there is something about Castle Hill that always brings me back whenever I’m travelling to Nice. Whether it’s the wonderful views, photo opportunities or merely the opportunity to work up an appetite before heading for lunch in the old town, I cannot recommend visiting Castle Hill enough.
To really make the most of your visit I would suggest allocating a good 40 minutes and accessing the stone steps on the Promenade des Anglais side (next to the Hotel Suisse), that way you can enjoy the views of the beach before descending the hill on the Port side.
There is a children’s playground at the top of the hill, toilets (0.35 Euro), a café and lift if you don’t fancy walking back down.

Yes you can take a flight above the lovely village of Gourdon with a fully trained instructor. There are lots of thermals created by the spectacular Gorges du Loup with a wide plane to land in close to Bar Sur Loup. The basic flight is about 10 minutes with the instructor but these can be longer for those wanting to get a longer and more thrilling flight

Monaco

A trip to Monaco would not be complete with at least one lap of the Formula One track!
Race day is in May, and it's great to say you've driven the same circuit as the likes of Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton!
The starting grid has been permanently painted on the street by a set of traffic lights, however be warned, a police man is usually waiting on the hill as you approach the casino, so watch your speed!
