Soaking up the sun: It seems Beyonce was in need of some R&R, as she took the chance to spend some quality down time with her husband Jay Z and their daughter, Blue Ivy, in Nice, on Friday

Spending much of their time on a luxurious and opulent yacht moored just off the shore, the family headed back to dry land for their lunch before returning later on in the evening for a meal on the Promenade des Anglais.

Choosing to eat at the La Petite Maison restaurant, the two famous musicians and their four-year-old daughter looked the picture of domestic bliss as they enjoyed a quiet meal out.

Clearly having slipped into the relaxed pace of life on the South coast of France, the Single Ladies chart-topper rocked a beach-bound look as she and her family were ferried ashore from their yacht.
