Nice is France's 5th largest City and it might be a cliché to say Nice has something for everyone, but the Côte d’Azur’s cosmopolitan capital pretty much does.

Sun seekers sip cocktails on lounges lining its pebbled shores, and kids splash in the azure sea, while bladers cruise the curved Baie des Anges (Bay of Angels) against a backdrop of fairy-lit palm trees flanking the promenade des Anglais.

But Nice is much more than just a place for fun in the sun. Must-sees include major museums. Archaeological buffs ruminate over the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Cemenelum. Flaneurs ferret out secret passages leading to narrow pedestrian laneways in the romantic old town, lingering over the sights and scents of the colourful flower and produce markets, and trawling for antiques. Festival fans descend for animated events. Gastronomes go gaga over finely prepared food, from chic little eateries to family-style French cooking and Michelin-starred cuisine.

Beaches
With its 40km of beaches, the French Riviera provides an intense sea experience.
Jet-skiing off the coast of Nice, a canoe treasure-hunt to the Lérins islands, scuba-diving in the harbour of Villefranche, a boat trip to meet the dolphins, big-game fishing, a speed-boat trip to Saint-Tropez, parascending in a way you have never done before !
