The day after I went on a hot and sexy boat trip together with the French-Twinks Studio`s I decided to have a day to myself shopping in Nice. Also because the guys were going back to the boat to shoot a gang bang scene. So they needed the extra space on the boat to make that happen. Antoine who has been looking after me all the time, decided it was safe to let SmackyGirl go shopping and discover Nice on her own. But we were going to met up for dinner later in the evening when they were finished filming on the boat. Since it was my last evening there and I had an early flight home the next day, we wanted to met up and have one last dinner together so the guys could tell me about their second day on the boat, and also to say goodbye :(. And also of course, to say thank you to Antoine and Max for the amazing time I have had with them and for the hospitality they have shown me. And of course big thanks to Yannick sexy Capitano, for getting me safely around Nice while I was there. I have enjoyed every moment of my 4 days in Nice with these gentlemen, and I have had so much fun with them. The moment I set my feet on French land I have lived like royalty.
But I also had so much fun shopping and discovering Nice on my own for a whole day while the twinks went back to have a naughty gang bang on the boat. Antoine had showed me around Nice on a five hour sightseeing trip on my second day in Nice, so I got a pretty good look at were all the shops I wanted to have a closer look inside were. I had said to Antoine before I arrived Nice that I wanted to see the Old Town in Nice.. And I had also Googled more about Nice a little bit before I came and found some cool stuff I wanted to see while visiting Nice. But Antoine took me to all of these places without even knowing that. So I really got to see a lot more of Nice than I had imagined I would. Not only did I get to see a lot of the beautiful city that Nice is. I also saw a lot of the stunning landscape and the nature around the French Riviera when we went on the boat and took it for a long cruise around the coast, from early morning to late in the evening around Cannes and Monaco as well. Were we parked our boat on a private beach that a friend of Antoine owned and let us dock the boat.. So I got to see so much more of France and Nice than I had expected I was going to reach in only four days. But that is what you get when you are in company with Antoine Lebel from French-Twinks Studio`s. Who of course loves and knows his Nice very well, and who also had rented a fancy boat to take me on a sexy cruise with his twinks around the coast of Nice, Cannes and Monaco all day. I loved every second of my holiday and I wish it was longer.
France is such a beautiful country and I already said in an earlier post that Nice is a shopping mekka for a lady like me, and it really is. I enjoyed my day on my own walking around Old Town shopping stuff for me, and for my family and friends at home. I had Italian for lunch. Because Nice is so close to Italy you get a lot Italian inspired things in Nice. So I had classic spaghetti Bolognese with Parmesan. And for dessert French Cream Brulee which was the best one I ever have tried. It was so crispy on the top and so tasty. There is a lot of sweet heavenly bakery shops to try out in Nice. But I am on a strict diet so I just looked in envy and walked away from these temptations. But I had to try one of the many ice cream shops while I was there. Italian ice cream is world famous. So I had Strawberry and Mango Sorbet at this huge ice cream shop in the middle of Old Town by a church there. There are tons of these ice cream shops in Nice, with real Italian made ice cream.You can choose between endless of different flavors, you can even get it with cactus flavor if you want to try something new and exotic.
The flower market was cozy and pretty with all Lavender flowers smelling so nicely all over the whole marked. And there is the hand made soap marked where I bought a gift for my mum. I also checked out this church you can see in the pictures below. All thought I have my faith I`m not really a church going person, but it had a lot of cool art in it that drew me in there. I lit a candle even for 2 Euro`s under one of the statues and said my prayer. What it was I prayed for is a Lady`s secret 😉
But there is so much more besides the shops and restaurants in the Old town that are also worth checking out. Some of the shops are very unique and very tiny. But French fashion is so gorgeous. You will find shops where everything is made and sowed by hand and the best quality you can`t find anywhere else. The biggest brands are all in Nice also of course, such as Gucci, Chanel, Dior, Versace and all the other famous fashion houses have their own shops in the middle of Nice. Even the airport has a Versace shop, where I nearly decided to burn off my Visa card on a pink glittery purse costing 3500 Euro`s. But I stayed strong and reasonable and left the shop, even if the man working in there was trying to charm me to buy it. I was crying inside like a little diva leaving that purse behind, because it was so pretty.

A lot of the shops in Nice are very nicely decorated. The same with hotels, bars and restaurants. You don`t just come for food. You come because its something to see as well. You always also have the beach near you all the time when you are in the heart of Nice. So its not hard to find my way back if I got lost. I did a few times in few of the small streets in Old Town. Because they are many and they look identical sometimes. And I got carried away on my shopping and got confused where I ended up a few times. But I could just walked back to Promenade des Anglais where the beach is, and I was easy back on track again. My hotel was on Promenade des Anglais and also it is where most of the main tourist hotels are located too. Such as the incredible Negresso Hotel in Nice. You have to see that. Wow what a hotel!! There is also a great nightlife on this Promenade, which I didn`t sadly have time to check out, we had a our private party instead at Antoine`s and on the boat. So going clubbing is on my to do list, for my next visit in the future to check out the nightlife in Nice and the gay clubs.
I started my shopping early that day I took a bus from my hotel which was only 1,5 Euros or something. A really nice French Lady helped me find the right bus. She spoke English very well, and so did everyone else I met and talked to in Nice. I had no problem speaking English with the French people while I was there. And many people understood a lot or at least enough to help me. So the myth about French people don`t speak English is not right in my eyes, they understand English perfectly fine.

I arrived at the shops pretty early around 9 am I think. The restaurants was not open yet and did not before after noon. But the shops were open of course. Some shops close for siesta time though around 2-3 pm. But there was not many I saw that closed. I saw maybe one of two that was not open, but I think most of them will have open at least during tourist season. Also they are open until late in the evening. Which is the most chilly time to do your shopping in Nice, because its very hot in the daytime. But there was a lot less people there so early in the morning when I first came there, if you prefer to shop with less crowd around you. Because from 12 o`clock mid day and until when I finished shopping around 4 pm it was packed with tourist there by that time.

After finish shopping I went to the beach to put my feet in the Mediterranean Sea. I also picked up two little stones. Which is a tradition I do every time I go somewhere, I bring some pretty rocks or sea shells from the beaches around the world with me home. And finally I stopped by the Hard Rock Cafè in Nice for a little drink to cool to down before I had to go back to my hotel to get ready, and put a nice dress on for my last evening with the guys. And to say thank you for the amazing time I have had there with them.
The guys were so hungry after being on the boat working all the day. So since I saw Erwan and Gabriel were getting burgers, I decided to screw my diet for 1 day and have a steak . I think Doryann Marguet and Antoine Lebel were having a contest who could eat the most mussels, because the restaurant had an all you can eat offer deal. I`m not sure who won, but we all had a nice final evening together after spending 4 great day laughing and making fun memories. I also got to hear about how the police came on the second day of the shooting on the boat. You can read about that in previous posts here on SmackyGirl. And I got to do some selfies together with the sweetest Erwan Lamour. Who has his birthday today so don`t forget to wish him a happy birthday on his twitter or Facebook.
So very much Happy Birthday to you Erwan
I missed the guys and Nice the moment I got on board the plane back to Norway the next morning at 11 am. And I decided that one day I will be back. Antoine said I should get a house in Nice and come live there, and I wish but maybe one day I will I said. Also we talked about the French-Twinks Studio`s maybe one day would like to come and shoot in Norway under the beautiful Aurora Borealis. And Antoine Lebel had some great ideas for that. So I will of course help find the perfect location and place for a shoot if he and his studio ever decides to come visit my country one day. They are most welcome after the great time I have had with them. But the next time I go to France I will stay a little bit longer I think, at least a week on holiday. And bring a suitcase full off money to go back to the most exclusive shops in Nice that Antoine also showed me were are too. And also I want to see more of Monaco.
Of course me and the guys are working on some interviews together but there is a little bit of waiting until it is finish. Because its summer and many are on holiday now. But here is a little update for now in the mean time, about how my 4th day in Nice was.. And I hope that you got tempted and want to visit Nice too.. Because its really worth a visit..
Thank you so much for having me and letting me have a great time with you all;
Anotine Lebel, Max Riviera, Yannick, Gabriel Lambert, Paul Delay, Doryann Marguet and Erwan Lamour. I hope we will met again some time….
