To celebrate Cath’s birthday we went for a weekend to Nice and stayed in the swankiest hotel I have ever stayed in – the world famous Negresco.
It is on La Promenade des Anglais – right on the seafront.
It has a grand hall with a chandelier meant for Tsar Nicholas II.
And houses 6,000 works of art – arranged by style on each floor.
Among them this portrait of Louis Armstrong by Raymond Moretti
And this octopus.
The service was second-to-none.
When we returned from dinner, our rooms had been got ready for bed.
And even a bookmark left on our books.
And the negronis weren’t bad either.
