The ‘Queen of the Côte d’Azur’ is sheltered by hills full of vineyards, while the Mediterranean Sea lies at her feet. She is centuries-old but yet majestically beautiful. An hospitable lady who does everything to make your visit as pleasant as possible…
As one of France’s most cosmopolitan destinations Nice has an eclectic offering of speciality dishes that are often said to rival Paris in their creativity and Michelin-starred standard. Yet unlike Paris, you can easily step out from the hustle-bustle of city life and once again sink your toes into the sandy shores of one of Nice’s pristine beaches. But make no mistake, Nice is no sleep provincial village; by day the boutique stores and breath-taking morning flower markets of Cours Saleva will fill your days with style and beauty, while your nights can buzz with the delights of modern night clubs and a trendy arts scene.
