General: Dear John and Pat, I've been over to Nice a few times in the past 12 months and on 3 of those occasions I have taken walks from your wonderful book. I have done "Rooftops of Nice" (Walk 1), "Around Cap Ferrat" (Walk 4), and most recently "La Turbie and Eze" (Walk 6). I have really enjoyed the walks, they have all been beautiful and your guide is excellent. So I just wanted to say thank you for writing such a great book, it has really opened up my eyes to the wonderful views, scenery and character of the area - plus the tranquillity of the walks is a therapy in itself! (User, 8/08)

Restaurants: See Walk 4.

Walk 4, base restaurant: Le Pot dEtain as described is no more! Michelle got "an offer she couldn't refuse" and has sold (very quickly, just as we were going to press!) to a young couple who apparently plan to do soups and salads. Perhaps it will be more of a lunch-time venue. Will report after next visiting Nice. In the meantime, fortunately we had already found a second 'base', Aux Gourmets, and included it in this edition. In the meantime, a user had written just as Michelle sold up, that she found Le Pot d'Etain closed so went across the street to 11e Art. They did a GF/DF meal for her, which she says was terrific, without giving any details. They also told her they had another customer the night before, asking for GF/DF - so maybe they will be geared up for it. (John and Pat, 4/09) + Regarding restaurants at Cap Ferrat, a user says that she likes to be where the action is, and finds 4 courses at Le Sloop too much. Of course since we never eat the "menu", but instead order just one or two light courses a la carte, we didn't notice this... but then Andrew Lloyd-Webber and Michael Winner obviously have super-large appetites. In any case, our correspondent prefers the nearby La Goelette (closed Mondays).
