Bavarian Insurance – Winners‘ Trip​

La ville aux mille possibilité.​
This city has so much to offer, it was not easy for us to choose. ​
DOIT AVOIR: savour culinary delights at the locals’ favourite spots, feel the charm of the city up close and weave in unforgettable experiences on the sea.​
To start with, we took our taste buds through the alleyways of the historic city centre. Our tour leads us through history and culture, tasting all kinds of delicacies along the way, such as olive tasting, ice cream at the famous Fenocchio ice cream parlour, Socca de Nice …​
We had our first ‘repas de midi’ at Gina’s, whose trendy brasserie on Place Masséna combines all the best of its Italian neighbours with the French seaside. A touch of dolce vita and Mediterranean lightness.​
Back at our centrally located, newly renovated 4-star hotel with courtyard, we had some free time and the opportunity to relax for Dîner.​
We were able to stroll to the restaurant as it was within walking distance of the hotel, so we also satisfied the sustainability requirement of saving on transfers.​
Le Grand Balcon in the classic Bistro Chic offered an authentic start to our trip. In true French style, we took our time over dinner and indulged in the refinements of local cuisine and conversation at great length.​
Day 2 was characterised by experiences on, by and in the sea.​
On a full-day catamaran tour to Cannes and St. Honorat with various swimming stops and a stopover for lunch on an island in the Îles de Lérins. We also had a speedboat with us for tender and fun trips.​
St. Honorat offers everything you need to make time stand still.​
For centuries, the guardians of the small island and its vineyards have been the monks of the Cistercian order, who gave us an exclusive wine tasting in the monastery garden under the olive trees, which is not accessible to normal visitors. A special wine is produced here, of which only limited bottles are available to buy.​
We spent the 2nd and last evening at an iconic place: On a rock 6 metres above the sea at Le Plongeoir. The restaurant was built at the end of the 19th century on the famous rock pillar, is a landmark of Nice and an absolute must.​
What an ‘adieux’ between sky and sea with maritime gourmet joys and this breathtaking view of the sunset. ​
The French Riviera is as enchanting then as it is now. Intense impressions that will linger in the hearts of the participants for a long time to come.​
NOTEZ BIEN: REALIZE is once again guarantor for touching, unique experiences.​
