Nice

Year-round sun, a fantastic beach scene, belle epoque architecture and a charming old town full of fine dining restaurants, hip bars and prolific museums - what is there not to love about Nice, the capital of France’s Cote d’Azur. Located on the Mediterranean Sea, the beaches stretching along the Bay of Angels, are wonderful. Pebbly they may be, but the views are stunning and the Promenade des Anglais offers a lovely walk where tourists relax in iconic blue chairs or dine at a seaside resturant, whilst roller bladers cruise past. The new Promenade du Paillon offers an enchanting park space as an alternative. Fancy a stroll? The Old Town, full of narrow streets lined with interesting shops, fantastic restaurants and fun bars, also sees a lively nightlife scene after hours. Other must-sees are the Cours Saleya flower market, the Matisse Museum, Le Chateau and its panoramic views, and The Port.
