The
capital of the beautiful Côte d'Azur is very very nice
indeed. Beaches lined with palm-treed walkways, belle époque
buildings, bags of museums and a kicking nightlife attract tourists
of every age, year-round.
Historically
Nice was the haunt of the wealthy aristocracy, but head to the
city during its famously colourful Mardi Gras carnival and you'll
quickly see just how varied the city's population is today.
As the gateway to the beautiful Côte d'Azur, and the regional
capital, Nice is spitting distance from glamorous resorts like
Cannes and Monaco, and within easy reach of the rural villages
of Provence.
