  • Highlights

    Sun kissed Nice, with its sparkling seas and Provençal pleasures is more than simply the capital of the Cote D'Azur, it's the fifth largest city in France and contains a wealth of fine architecture and culture.

    Located on the Mediterranean coast, at the western end of the Riviera, Nice lies between the Alps and Italy's Gulf of Genoa.

    The Greeks from Marseilles first established Nice around 300BC. When the Greeks conquered a neighboring tribe, they named their city Nice, after the Greek word 'Nike', meaning victory. Nice boasts a plethora of ruins, museums, boutiques, and a hearty cafe culture. Cafes occupy weathered 17th and 18th century buildings and outdoor markets crowd the old town's streets and Venetian-style squares.

    Like most of the Riviera you will find Nice is one of the best places to start a Côte d'Azur adventure. It offers the second largest airport in France and bus excursions to major Riviera destinations. Best of all, it tends to be a bit more affordable than other coastal resort towns.

    Begin your exploration of "The Maid of Provence" at one of its palaces, Palais Masséna, from which you'll enjoy a magnificent view of the Bay of Angels (Baie des Anges).
