A laid-back Mediterranean city by the sea.

A day in Nice often starts early at markets like Cours Saleya, bustling with fresh produce and flowers from 6 AM onwards. Afterwards, many enjoy strolls along the Promenade des Anglais, active with cyclists and walkers. The city suits those who appreciate a slower pace, Mediterranean cuisine, and the combination of coastal life with easy mountain access. A common surprise is its strong blend of French and Italian flavors and architecture, a nod to its history before 1860.
