The village of Baux-de-Provence is one of the remarkable heritage sites in France by decision of the Ministry of Culture.

An eagle's nest, both sentinel and natural stronghold, the site has always served as a place of refuge.

About Nice

Nice is the sunny capital of the French Riviera, where a palm-lined promenade curves along a blue bay and a pastel old town buzzes with markets.

The Promenade des Anglais follows the Baie des Anges for kilometres, with pebble beaches and the turquoise sea on one side and grand hotels on the other. Vieux Nice, the old town, is a maze of narrow lanes, Baroque churches and ochre façades, and the Cours Saleya hosts a flower and produce market.
