Nice

Nice is a coastal city on the French Riviera known for its bright light, Mediterranean atmosphere and mix of French and Italian influences. The old town has narrow streets, colorful façades and lively markets where visitors can taste local dishes like socca or explore small shops. Along the Promenade des Anglais people walk, cycle or relax by the sea while enjoying the wide view of the bay. Museums such as the Matisse Museum and the Chagall Museum show the strong artistic heritage of the region. The city is also close to hills and coastal paths that offer good opportunities for hiking or scenic day trips.
