As you explore Nice, her historic quarter, her seafront, her hidden beauties, and endless surprises in between, you may find yourself in need of a moment to catch your breath and where better to do that than a coffee shop? Bring along your holiday read, duck in from the sun (especially in summer when it can be incredibly hot), and grab something to drink before you head back out and dive back in. Just find a vacation rental in Nice and come discover this beauty of a city for yourself...

1. CASA ELLI Gelato e Caffè, 11 Rue Maccarani

This café is both an Italian-style gelateria and coffee shop, making it a spot that will keep the whole family happy, if you're with kids, but will also delight any and all adults in your group or simply yourself, if you're travelling with pals or alone. Located only a couple of streets over from the shore, it is a pretty gem with neat and elegant mid-century style interiors and very reasonable prices for the city.

One of the best things about travelling is eating and, in particular, trying out local cuisines. This is an especially pressing concern for anyone visiting France. If you have found a vacation rental in Rhône-Alpes and are planning a trip to Lyon, one of the dishes that you might want to try is a refreshing and tasty salad that bears the city's name: Salade Lyonnaise.

Nothing could beat the real thing in the setting of the city itself and while enjoying a relaxing holiday but, in the meantime, while you plan and wait, why not try the recipe out for yourself?
