We are going to talk about traveling with toddlers. To be more exact, about grandparents traveling with a 2.5 year old toddler from Toronto, Canada to Nice, France for a 10-day vacation. Of course, with the parent consent letter. Some people say that flying with a toddler is an absolute nightmare. I can say that we did not have any problem because we prepared well. The only problem was staying in a long line at the border control in Amsterdam airport with our granddaughter sleeping in my hands.
In preparation for our flight, we showed Rina several videos describing the security screening and the flight. On my laptop, I had several educational videos, which usually work very well for sleeping (“A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep”, you know) and of course several episodes of Masha and the Bear. Cartoons and movies can help keep the child busy during a sizeable chunk of flight time and allow grandparents some rest, too. We also prepared for drawing and coloring and downloaded several kids’ applications on my laptop and smartphone.
No computer games at all — this policy worked well with our kids (when they grew up, they thanked us for it) and now with our grandkids. We downloaded only several applications designed for creativity.
We also prepared some presents like small soft animals, dolls, and stickers. A lot of stickers and a notebook to place them. Stickers are great for keeping a 2 or 3-year old entertained for a long time. They can decorate not only a notebook but also a water bottle dispensed by the flight attendant.
Landing can cause pain in kid’s ears. Therefore we prepared some sweets for take-off and landing during our four flights. We also used these sweets to bribe our girl when I wanted her to make some acting in front of the camera.
Beaulieu-sur-Mer is a seaside town on the French Riviera between Monaco and Nice. The French name means “Beautiful place near the sea”. We decided to go there because of its sandy beaches, which are good for small kids.
It is convenient to take a bus #99 “Gare SNCF”, which goes to the main railway station called Gare de Nice-Ville or Gare SNCF or Gare Thiers and from there to take a train to Beaulieu-sur-Mer. It takes about 10 minutes to get to Beaulieu-sur-Mer from Gare Nice-Ville.
We lived in a three-star hotel Marcellin 400 meters from the beach. Good hotel. We liked it.
We took the train to Nice. Our aim was to show Rina the city, the seafront and the Fontaine Miroir d’eau (Mirror Fountain) on the Promenade du Paillon which is a relatively new place opened in 2013. The fountain is a large grid of water jets liked by children and grown-ups alike. These jets sometimes puff out a gentle cooling mist and sometimes they shot high fountains of water. Children love running between the jets and jump over them.
The six-kilometer Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat Hike hike is really special because of the great contrast between the lush green of Cap Ferrat and the blue waters of the Mediterranean. Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is the commune located on a peninsula between Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Villefranche-sur-Mer. Its warm climate and tranquility make it a favorite holiday destination for millionaires. However, those who are on a tight budget can enjoy hiking and swimming on several beaches. The walking trail around the peninsula alongside numerous millionaires’ villas winds its way around the edge of the peninsula. We walked the trail with our granddaughter, sometimes on my shoulders without any problem. Some parts of the path are not fenced, therefore if you are hiking with small kids, hold them by the hand all the times.
