About Nice
Nice anchors the French Riviera with its long pebble-beach promenade, the Promenade des Anglais, and a pastel-hued old town packed with markets, gelato shops, and Baroque churches. It's compact enough to explore on foot yet serves as an easy base for day trips along the wider Côte d'Azur, from Monaco to Cannes, making it one of the most convenient combinations of city and beach life in Europe.
