A flight to Nice brings you to the heart of the Côte d’Azur and France’s most relaxed Mediterranean resort, founded back in the 5th century BC by the Greeks of Marseille. Explore the alley-ways of Vieux Nice (Old Town) and admire the Gothic architecture of the Chapelle de la Miséricorde.
Discover Nice’s artistic heritage at the Musée des Beaux-Arts with its paintings by Degas and sculptures by Rodin or take in the extensive collection of the Musée Matisse. Meet the locals of Nice at Cours Saleya’s busy flower market.
Escape the crowds at the ornate Monastery of Cimiez gardens or stroll down Nice’s famous Promenade des Anglais. Take a drive to glitzy Monaco (23km east of Nice) or star-studded Cannes (34km west of Nice).
The locals of Nice love their olive oil and fresh fish. Settle down at a sun-drenched café for a lunch of salade niçoise, ratatouille and grilled sardines. Wash it all down with Bellet wine, one of the oldest vineyards in the region, producing red, white and rosé. |
