Jan, I have stayed three times at LaPerouse, and loved it. It is maybe a five minute walk to Old Nice, almost right next door to that elevator that takes you to the top of the park over Nice. Do take it if you can come in a day early! Small hotel, right around the corner to where the ship docks in Nice (but you would need a cab) It is not a fancy "city" hotel and is up the hill from the city, with beautiful views over the sea. Tiny lobby, rooms are floors above. Very nice little casual restaurant with outdoor tables. I love it!
