Welcome to London2Nice and back again
[posts about London / posts about France]
We live in London and spend a lot of time down in Nice, France–actually in a little village called Saint Jeannet. We are either in one of these places or thinking about a trip there soon.
We have 2 young kids and generally never seem to have enough time to organize our non-working, non-dragging the kids around time to our best advantage. Also everything just seems horribly expensive and while most services or products are ok, we feel like we could do a lot better if we thought about it more and collected more ideas from other people. Sometime we get really screwed and would also like to warn people as much as we can to avoid same trap. So this is why we decided to make this blog.
The idea here is to share information about life in London for family-oriented people as well as post information about what to do to enjoy the South of France. We also own a villa which is available to rent in Saint Jeannet, France if you feel like spending some time there (mention the blog and I will give you a 5% discount!).
The kinds of things we hope to post here are:
- * Things to do with kids on the weekends–especially rainy days
- * Good value restaurants (and take-away)
- * Products and Services that add value to raising kids, helping parents
- * Ideas for visitors (they always asking and we can never think of stuff…)
