Nice (Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur)

Emblematic of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, in the Alpes-Maritimes département, Nice is a jewel on the French Riviera. Set between sea and mountains, on the edge of the breathtaking Baie des Anges, this Mediterranean city enjoys 300 days of sunshine a year, offering its inhabitants an exceptional quality of life.

In the early 19th century, Nice established itself as the favorite summer destination of the Russian Czar's court, acquiring an international reputation in the process. The subsequent influx of European aristocrats reinforced this reputation. Over the years, Nice has established itself as an essential destination on the “French Riviera”, thanks in particular to its historical heritage, natural landscapes and privileged location.

Nice's rich heritage embodies the beauty of its history. Nice's iconic sites include the Promenade des Anglais, Colline du Château, the former Regina Palace, Notre-Dame Basilica, Place Masséna, Saint-Nicolas Cathedral and more. Hypnotized by the city's singular luminosity and intoxicating ambience, Nice has seduced artists of stature such as Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Auguste Renoir and Amedeo Modigliani.

As well as being famous for its seafront, Nice also boasts a number of gardens and green spaces: the Parc de la Colline du Château, the Promenade du Paillon and the Parc Forestier du Mont Boron. In the surrounding area, you can discover various departmental nature parks, while the Mercantour National Park is just an hour's drive away. The city of Nice is also renowned for its cultural life, with renowned museums and year-round events, including the Nice Carnival and the Jazz Festival. Nice is also home to a myriad of high-end restaurants, many of them Michelin-starred, as well as luxury hotels and a host of designer boutiques.
