About Nice

Nice er den solrige hovedstad på den franske Riviera, med en palmekantet promenade langs en blå bugt og en pastelfarvet gammel bydel fuld af markeder.

Promenade des Anglais følger Baie des Anges i kilometer, med stenstrande og turkisblåt hav på den ene side og statelige hoteller på den anden. Vieux Nice, den gamle bydel, er en labyrint af smalle stræder, barokkirker og okkerfarvede facader, og Cours Saleya er vært for et blomster- og grøntsagsmarked.
