Nice, France—la Belle de la Côte d’Azur! Nestled between the sparkling Mediterranean Sea and the foothills of the Alps, Nice is a sun-soaked gem on the French Riviera that blends Italian charm with French elegance.
It’s famous for its Promenade des Anglais, a palm-lined seafront boulevard perfect for strolling, cycling, or just soaking in the views of the Baie des Anges. The Old Town (Vieux Nice) is a maze of narrow streets bursting with colorful buildings, lively markets like Cours Saleya, and the scent of fresh socca (a local chickpea pancake) wafting through the air.
Art lovers are in for a treat—Nice inspired greats like Matisse and Chagall, and their works are showcased in dedicated museums. And if you climb up to Colline du Château, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views over the city and sea.
