Nice, a dream location on the Côte d'Azur

Located in the far south-east corner of France, Nice is the administative capital of the Alpes Maritimes department, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. It is bordered by the Mediterranean, known in French as the "Grande Bleue", meaning the "Great Blue Sea". The city is less than an hour from Cannes and its legendary festival to the west, and from Monaco to the east. It also lies very close to the Italian border, about thirty kilometers away.

When we speak of Nice, famous and enchanting names immediately spring to mind: the Promenade des Anglais, the Baie des Anges, the Negresco… A tourist visiting Nice can store up a host of wonderful memories for their entire life!

A day in Nice

There is so much to do in Nice that one day is not enough, especially since you must stop off at one of its extraordinary restaurants which showcase French gastronomy and the specialties of the south of France. Here are some of the places you should not miss at any cost.

The influence de the "Grande Bleue"

In Nice, the influence of the Mediterranean can be felt everywhere. Start by embracing it by taking a stroll along the Promenade des Anglais which runs along it. You will enjoy the shade of its palm trees and admire the majestic Haussmann buildings. You will see the Negresco and the Westminster, both sumptuous hotels dating back to the Belle Époque.

Take a few steps on the pebbles that make up the beach and admire their reflections dancing in the sunshine, in shades of blue and grey.

A festival of colours

Then head for the old part of Nice and explore its centuries-old heritage. The people who live there call it Nissa la Bella. All is colour in this maze of narrow cobbled backstreets. As you turn the corner of an alley, you will come face to face with the Sainte Réparate cathedral, the Gesù church or the Lascaris palace.

Your stroll between the pale ochre house fronts, nicely set off by the turquoise of their shutters, will give you the opportunity to stock up on the local specialties on display on a multitude of small stalls. On your return home, these herbs and spices from Nice will liven up your dishes beautifully, while lavender will perfume your home.

Make a little detour to the Cours Saleya to feast on an even wider palette of colours: fruit and vegetable sellers and florists compete for space there, and you will never forget their multicolourd stalls. If you enjoy hunting for vintage objects, make it a Monday, the day of the week when second-hand goods dealers take the place over. And then you can come back in the evening for a drink or a meal in one of the many cafes and restaurants, with their delightfully inviting terraces.

Nice – an inspiration for artists

With the unique quality of light imparted by the Mediterranean, it is quite logical for Nice to pay tribute to the artists who have so loved it. It’s the Matisse Museum that attracts the most visitors. The museum’s facade in itself is an invitation to explore what it has to offer.

You can also visit other, very different, styles of museum, like the Marc Chagall National Museum, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, the International Museum, of Naïve Art or the Cimiez Archaeological Museum.

A botanical exploration

For another magical experience in Nice, just wander down the Promenade du Paillon which stretches between the National Theatre and the Promenade des Anglais. This urban park features a water mirror and its many fountains, and a magnificent botanical diversity of trees, shrubs and plants that will transport you to other parts of the world.

One last look back over Nice

To round off your visit nicely, make your way up to what remains of Nice Castle, built in the 11th century. From there, you will have an outstanding view over the port and the ochre-coloured roofs of Old Nice. There are many other places to visit if you have more time: Phoenix Park and its tropical greenhouse, the monastery of Cimiez and its rose garden, etc.
