About Nice

Nice er den solrike hovedstaden på den franske rivieraen, med palmekantet promenade langs en blå bukt og en pastellfarget gamleby full av markeder.

Promenade des Anglais følger Baie des Anges i flere kilometer, med steinstrender og turkist hav på den ene siden og staselige hoteller på den andre. Vieux Nice, gamlebyen, er en labyrint av smale smug, barokkirker og okerfargede fasader, og Cours Saleya er vertskap for et blomster- og grønnsaksmarked.
