Welcome to Nice
Nice, capital of the French Riviera is one of the most cosmopolitan but friendly and compact Cities in France. Here, the happiness of Nice's residents and visitors, is obvious to all.
With over 300 days of sunshine a year, its own, distinct gastronomy, a stunning beach promenade facing a vast choice of hotels, Nice is a stunning combination of old (Vieux Nice) and new. The old city is particularly special, narrow, streets, boutique shops and restaurants form an enchanting yet relaxing combination. Sitting out, on one of its many terraces for a breakfast croissant in the sunshine is our recommended start to the day. Afterwards you may choose to either peruse the unique markets, drive to one of the near by mountainous villages or simply relax on the beach and enjoy the scenic views.
