Nice. No, not the word, the city in France. The gorgeous city in France on the Côte d’Azur. The French Riviera brings to mind images of white sand beaches, turquoise waters, a vibrant city culture, and colors abound. Nice is the fifth most populous city in the country of France, after Paris, Marseille, Lyon and Toulouse. It is nicknamed Nice la Belle (Nice the Beautiful) because it really is just that, beautiful. The area has a Mediterranean climate with summers lasting nearly 6 months, and winters that are very mild.
What a wonderful place to live or visit. Nice is full of decadent gastronomical delights, festivals year-round, history and culture – it’s safe to say it is a city for everyone. The Promenade des Anglais is a gorgeous stretch of homes, businesses and hotels along the Baie des Anges. The Hotel Negresco is a famous and beautiful landmark located on the Promenade des Anglais. This patatial hotel, built in 1912, reflects the ritzy, art deco feel of the Mediterranean. There are a number of picturesque squares throughout the city, like Place Masséna, Place Garibaldi and Cours Saleya, with its daily flower market.
Sceptre Tours has a number of different French river cruises that stop in Nice, after traveling through Provence from Paris. Nice is a wonderful spot, not to be missed.
