Nice is really nice

Nice, the pearl of the French Riviera, is located on one of the most beautiful bays in the Mediterranean! Having only rejoined France in 1860 (after been 17 times italian and french), today it is an exciting mix of the French, Italian, Greek, and British cultures.

Nice hosts the world famous Nice Carnival in February. In the summer the Mediterranean sparkles in the sun and people relax on the beach. Even in the winter the cafe terraces are filled with people happily drinking and contemplating the ultra famous Promenade des Anglais.

Always in flower this wonderful walk follows along the bay, looking out onto the Baie Des Anges and the beaches on one side, and on the other such luxury hotels as the Negresco. Just outside Nice, the visitor has the chance to visit some truly beautiful villages perched up in the valleys which cut through the mountains to the north. And as home to the France's second busiest airport it's probably one of the easiest destinations to fly into in France.
