Stretching out along the Bay of Angels, Nice is regularly chosen as the town
where most French people would like to live, and it is not hard to see why. Nice
is the capital of the French Riviera, and is a city filled with palm trees, grand

activities it makes possible. Rollerblade along the

late into the evening. Nice is also a great base to
explore other towns of the region. Visit the
beautiful town of Antibes, the wealthy glittering
resort of Cannes and the romantic principality of
Monaco. Nice is, quite simply, an unforgettable
experience.
