Destinations Of the Month

 
Nice France is a sparkling jewel on the French Riviera. Nice itself is an attraction: the rich blue-green sea, diverse shopping, splendid dining and lovely art-deco façades. Charming markets, narrow lanes, and all the enchantments of France, including art, food, and gorgeous architecture are present in Nice.

Located along the Mediterranean Sea, Nice France features long promenades, pebbly beaches, and good weather. In town you’ll find picturesque buildings, art museums, and good hotels. Nice vacations were favored by aristocrats during the Victorian period. Today, Nice is a popular destination for a multitude of travelers, and offers a variety of things to do and see. Nice is second only to Paris in the number of museums and galleries. Be sure you know which spots have the most allure before you visit. Nice's famous Flower Market - Cours Saleya Flower Market is one of the best attractions in the whole city.

 The edges are lined with cafés and souvenir shops, and the stands themselves are packed with amazing produce and myriad flowers. It operates six days a week, replaced on Mondays by a flea and antiques market. Check out the dynamic pedestrian walkway that parallels the promenade des Anglais. The walkway runs along the sunny waterfront where walkers, joggers, and inline skaters traverse beneath palm trees. Near the promenade, don’t miss the Albert I Garden. A multitude of flowers and palm trees grow here. Also near the promenade is an Italian style theater, home to the Opera de Nice.

Nice Vacations are a sun drenched affair with white, pebbly beaches, and the sparkling blue waters of the French Rivera, known as the Cote d’Azur in France. Sunbathers rejoice, as Nice France is the place to lay back and soak. When bored of napping, people watching becomes a verified pastime, and there are plenty of buildings in town to explore. While Nice France gets a lot of press for its beaches and celebrity vacationers, the old city harbors baroque churches, stylish buildings, and art museums. Our Nice city guide starts at the modern art museum, which houses a collection of art from 1950 onward. Four towers holding the collection rise skyward with rooftop gardens. Glass bridges connect the towers from the inside, and look impressive from the outside. There are several hostels, mid-ranged hotels, and plusher, luxury accommodations in Nice. The glorious waterfront is lined with a nice selection of hotels, and more budget oriented accommodations are found inland. Nevertheless the name County of Nice is still used today for this cultural and historical region that has kept its whole personality.
