| "The Calypso & Transat Snack Bar and Pools" Our number 1 pool stop this summer was in St Laurent Du Var .. a couple of stops West of Nice by train down on the pedestrianised sea front you will find an array of restaurants and beach bars. Prominently located in front of the Holiday Inn is their private sandy beach with sea front swimming pools at the beach bar. Enjoy the feel of white sand between your toes and cool off in one of the 3 swimming pools or of course in the sea. |

None of the pools are large enough for energetic lengths but if its cooling off you want then you're in the right place. The shallowest pool was just right for our toddler of 18 months though we kept her in arm bands anyway and for an extra couple of Euros you could borrow from a "library" of inflatable toys which provided hours of variety and amusement. You can also hire towels onsite meaning that as an already overloaded parent you can travel light! The shaded snack restaurant had some great value salads, portions were big. 4 adults and 2 children paid 63 Euros including soft drinks for a main course and pudding. Lunch over and there are various water sports located off the jetty for teenagers and adventurous parents alike and a toddler play area with toy cabins and a slide beside the snack bar provide extra entertainment. |
There is something for everyone wanting to swim and sun.. and if you want a break from relaxing then just a 10 minute walk East you will find yourself in a Shopping Center with among the smaller shops like Mango, Naff Naff, Disney Store there is also a Gallery Lafayette with a wonderful food hall (closed on Sundays). We had a great day here though it can work out a bit pricey. However the kids had a ball and we had the chance to feel like we were really on holiday! Adults pay 10 Euros for a "matelas" or 15 Euros for a "Transat", children under 12 pay 8 Euros and babies go free. (prices correct in 2005) see Calypso & Transat snack and pools for how to get there. |
