About Nice

Nice, capitale ensoleillée de la Côte d'Azur : promenade bordée de palmiers au bord d'une baie bleue et vieille ville pastel animée de marchés.

La promenade des Anglais longe la baie des Anges sur des kilomètres, avec des plages de galets et la mer turquoise d'un côté et de grands hôtels de l'autre. Le Vieux Nice, la vieille ville, est un dédale de ruelles étroites, d'églises baroques et de façades ocre, et le cours Saleya accueille un marché aux fleurs et aux produits frais.
