About Nice
Nice is the sun-soaked capital of the French Riviera, where belle époque grandeur meets the deep blue of the Mediterranean. The palm-lined Promenade des Anglais sweeps along the pebble shore, backed by pastel façades and the shimmering Baie des Anges. Warm, colorful, and effortlessly stylish, it has drawn artists and holidaymakers to the Côte d'Azur for well over a century.
The heart of the city is Vieux Nice, the old town, a warren of narrow lanes packed with ochre buildings, lively squares, and a famous market brimming with flowers and produce. Beyond the local specialties of socca and salade niçoise, Nice makes an ideal base for the glittering coast, with Monaco, Cannes, and the clifftop village of Èze all a short train or drive away.
The Riviera enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunshine year-round. Summers are hot and busy, while spring and fall bring warm, comfortable weather and thinner crowds, and even winters stay gentle by European standards.
