Dont be too hard on yourselves -- jet lag is the problem! Thanks for the tour around Nice.

[@nicthommi]

Going to recommend investing in walking shoes and not cute flats bc your body will start to really feel it. Your feet will stay tired and you might find it bothers your knees and lower back too. My first time in France I was barely out of college but just wore hiking boots and even at that young age, it made a huge difference.

[@Rachel-rs7jn]

I recommend Naot sandals....they are excellent walking shoes and they have some cute styles.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Great suggestion. I choose cute over comfortable way too often 🙃

[@RaamRochHai]

@@kjandtonylovefrance worth it!

Rest when you can sweet ones. Sending hugs love and kindness with positive thoughts ❤❤❤

You're welcome 😊

I always take a couple days to acclimate before i begin all the walking!! Rest rest!!

[@LisaNazarian]

Thank you for another fabulous video. I can’t wait to hear how dinner with Adrian was (if you opt to share in an upcoming video).

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

I turned 75 yesterday and you can trust me when I say, 1) you guys are NOT old, and 2) living in this part of the world keeps you young, and alert as to where you are walking and what type of shoes to wear. In MIlano, where the Italian rich and famous go shopping, men and women both wear athletic shoes even with fashionista outfits haha. Maybe they're 3,000 euro sneakers, but sneakers nonetheless. And btw, last year was a LOT hotter than this year. So as I like to remind myself frequently, count your blessings 🤣 Stay strong! Hugs to you from Liguria Italy.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Happy Birthday!! And, thank you for your encouragement and support ❤️

Try to rest. So glad to see you both again and the tour. Please don’t fall. 😊

lol... thank you. Trying my best not to fall.

[@terryhutchings7701]

Looks absolutely lovely! My house on the market in Colorado and I'm so very anxious to get it sold and head to France. Trying to be patient, but every day seems like an eternity. In the meantime, your videos remind me why I have decided to make the move. Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

I know the feeling 😀

[@joseeallyn9950]

It is cooler in Texas this year, the records for 1980 still stand! my phone was saying only 108 F two days ago when I read your vlog! Provence in winter is incredibly cold with high winds . Don't forget your coats and hats !

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Is it colder than Paris?

[@rosalindd1386]

Thank you again for another fabulous video ! You will feel better once you have some rest !

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@nikkiscott4341]

The Mediterranean can be dtifling hot in the summer. This year there have aleready been a couple of heatwaves. I'd go to Paris in the spring and Nice in the autumn. That way round, it's neither too cold nor too hot and there is still enough going on.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

That's a great suggestion ❤️

[@gillianbanham2802]

Old Town Nice looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Lots of love, Gill x🙏🤍✨️x

@@kjandtonylovefrance The both of you are very welcome. I have only been to Rome so, see travelers go to other beautiful cities there is really nice and informative.

[@amfrance]

Hello, you all picked some of the hottest days of the year so far to arrive! Hope that you all can stay cool and have a good trip!

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thank you 😊

[@sebastianfoucaud268]

Hi KJ and Tony, thank you for your videos from Nice and the Côte d'Azur. You are in the midst of the a heat wave..😒. Like most heat waves in Southern France, it should not last long. One way to get cooler is to travel to the surrounding mountains and have a plunge in the Alpine lakes (many locals do that). Another way is to take an afternoon nap and get active early in the morning and past 5 pm keeping your shutters closed, drinking lots of water and spraying yourself with Avene water. Do not overdo it. Slow down. Your body needs time to readjust and plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. When will you make a video about life in Nice (and Southern France) and your thoughts on living there? That would be very interesting for many of your subscribers. Take care and keep cool, Seb from wintery Melbourne, Australia.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thanks for the tips 😊

[@carstenlind8649]

Thank you very much for this wonderful video from Nice. You both look great. My first was to Nice by train many years ago.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Hi Susanne! Glad you enjoyed the video and that you've been there yourself too 😊❤️🫂

[@theresaedwards2863]

Hello KJ & Tony! Looks like the joys of Summer are in full swing there in the south of France. Thank you for sharing! Also, excited to hear that you will meet with Adrian, she's the contact that I was referring to in a previous post. She's an excellent connection to have as you prepare for your permanent move to France. All the best!

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Adrian is lovely. It was so great meeting with her.

[@TheBentsmom]

you're in my old neighborhood. the flower market used to be on Fridays and Saturdays. I thought I caught a glimpse of the old, historic Greek Church. I LOVED the idea that it was a pedestrian only area! I was in one of the apartments across from a bakery.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

We loved it and went to the flower market several times.

[@lauraswihart4816]

I just love these videos! These 2 are the Best! 💖💖

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Yay! Thank you!

[@caos6358]

Thanks... Have a fantastic day...

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thanks, you too 😊

[@karenscookingkorner]

Funny, you live in Florida aka wet hot sauna of the USA. Man, it must have been brutally hot there! Loved this video 😊

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Yes it was! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@maryallison4899]

Nice is one of my fave places. Been there several times. I LOVE the market at Ventimiglia. You should try Antibes too. There are good and relatively cheap buses from Nice.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Didn't make it to Antibes this time. Definitely want to get there. We have heard this from many people now.

[@nannettegoff]

We always grab a quick lunch and pastries at St. Francois while walking thru Old Town! You really made the rounds on Day 2 - good for you. We’ll be there in September for our annual visit…

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Enjoy!!

[@ablake2581]

Thank you so much for your tours they are always interesting. Perhaps traveling to the Mediterranean area is best in Spring and Fall even winter is nice with a cozy coat and hat. When you get more rest all will seem so much better, have fun.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Great idea!

[@gsbeak]

Fun fact : At 5:18, on the front of the public toilets, there is a sign with the sentence "Je pisse donc je suis." It means "I pee, so I am." It is a joke about the quote from famous French Philosopher Descartes : "Je pense donc je suis", "I think, so I am" or in Latin "Cogito, ergo sum". Welcome to Nice !

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

lol... thank you for sharing that interesting and humorous fact 🤣

[@susanficek1245]

You both look great . Love seeing your travels . I remember living in the old section of Nice as a femme de menage

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

So cool!

[@gooster_yt]

I believe you really did arrive at just about the warmest and most humid spell.... normally it is not nearly as bad (lower humidity and temps). In Nice, about 25% of homes actually do have AC, unlike the rest of France (at least in the center). It is more rare in the Old Town, however, due to restrictions on placement of the compressor. We are in the Carre d"Or. Ours works quite well and is pretty efficient.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

It was hot 🔥

[@Rachel-rs7jn]

Oh I feel you with the walking thing. I love La Rochelle but it's so hard for me to walk there lol....the cobblestones are big and shiny/slippery and uneven. I bit it hard last year, went head over heels in front of everyone on the sidewalk, and bruised my leg. I don't know how everyone else does it. Hope the rest of your trip was a little cooler! Bisous from Niort 😘

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Ah, I am not alone 🫂 Thank you, Rachel 😘

[@emmylou-y4b]

It was wise to go during the summer in order to get a "feel" of the heat. There isn't the AC the way we have it in the U.S. Definitely get yourself "trainers" for walking. Even in Milan, the well-dressed women wear them and they will relieve a lot of the fatigue. Have fun!

[@byronkerby6897]

@user-Is4vb6dq7z The idea of trainers is brilliant. Supportive slingback sandals with thick soles similar to sneakers works well too.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Yes, true 💯

[@sheilac9759]

If you want a good laugh, read about the history of the statue of Apollo in Place Massena. The story is hilarious and will make an interesting addition to one of your future videos. The story of Catherine Ségurane is also pretty amusing, and there’s a street named after her just off Place Garibaldi that you might enjoy exploring. I hope it cools down soon!

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

We will! Thank you 😊

[@loustic59vda]

You should buy a ticket for Lille, at least actually in the northern of France, we can breath. And to discover the Old Town of Lille is also interesting

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Another lovely place we must visit

[@nicoledaniels9039]

Ooo! Are you going to be on House Hunters? I love that show!

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

No, we're not, but we will be using Adrian and her co. to help us find our apt.

[@nikkiscott4341]

Jean Médecin was a lawyer and former mayor of Nice. Street names are great hints to local history.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thanks for the info 😊

[@betteurbain7911]

If you had been up for a long time then that is tired, not old! Look at you using your French in France! The weather is part of why I am recommending that you live in Paris. When you are cold, you can bundle up and have other resources for getting warm (hot drink) but when you are hot, there is only so much you can do--especially without AC! I vicariously enjoyed KJ's shopping. So cool seeing the Brazilians perform. I think the two guys were doing capoiera or whatever it's called--the dancing martial art. I get it confused with the drink caiprinha or something like that.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thanks, Bette. We are looking forward to being back in Paris in October.

[@betteurbain7911]

@@kjandtonylovefrance Oui!

[@byronkerby6897]

You both still look great in spite of the jet lag and the heat. Would you say that the summer humidity feels higher in Nice or Daytona? Is it possible that there is more of a breeze by the Atlantic vs the Mediterranean? What are your thoughts? Thank you!

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Yes and yes!

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Humidity is high in both places. I think even more humid in Nice.

It's so exciting and easier when you arrive than on the way back 😩

[@debisusan4338]

You should like Nice's weather, as it more like your weather at home. Get yourself a good pair of walking shoes. Flats are more for getting dressed for dinner. Your body will feel al the pain if you continue wearing shoes that are not meant for walking. Adrian Leeds is lovely. She will a great help in finding a place to live.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Yes 💯

[@rowandowland1391]

What were your first impressions of Nice KJ? Tony you said you had hoped you hadn't oversold things...

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

It was lovely 😍

[@andyshacks7812]

The Brazilian guys are superb. They were there when we visited in 2019. Southern Europe is experiencing a heatwave at the moment so it’s hotter than usual !

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Yes, the Brazilian guys and girls were amazing!

I haven't checked in for 'awhile' but am happy you're back in France. You both look fabulous!!! Are you getting another apartment or maybe I missed that part!

Morning...why are you not in the water? Lovely city but humidity slackens its appeal. Hope it's not affecting your knee. The food always looks delicious and I'm sure after some sleep you were raring to go again. Hi from 🍺 😊

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

Thanks 😊

[@rivierarocket]

Now remember that I told you Nice was very hot in Summer in June through September and France and Europe doesn't do A/C (3% of homes) so you have to take that into consideration. I hear your remarks now imagine if you lived down there with no A/C to go back to in your apartment. You would be miserable. if you decide to rent there AND you need to check it out that the A/C does function before you commit as the owners and real estate agents will tell you "n'importe quoi" You will broil under that Mediterranean sun and there is no A/C down there like in FLA. Even in Paris nowadays the sun in Summer is like Mediterranean sun. Not so 40 years ago. Nobody has A/C here in Paris in there apt except me...But I'm American.

[@kjandtonylovefrance]

No matter where we end up, our apt WILL have AC! That, I know, for sure...lol

Wearing (expensive ) jewelry is a flag for thieves..

[@nikkiscott4341]

Agreed. Even if it's not expensive, if it's visible and shiny, it may attract unwanted attention. Thieves do not necessarily stop to ask politely if you would mind handing over your jewelry. It can be a nasty experience having it snatched.
