Museum of Fine Arts in Nice
The Museum of Fine Arts in Nice is located in the residential district of Baumettes in a residence built for a Ukrainian princess. It exhibits mainly paintings by the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists as well as sculptures and ceramics. Some of the exhibits were sent to Nice by Napoleon III.
Beaches on the French Riviera
The beaches are probably the largest and most valuable attraction on the Côte d’Azur. Every day during the summer they are crowded with thousands of tourists. Which beaches on the French Riviera are the most beautiful, which are worth visiting, and how do they differ? Here is my subjective guide!
Menton
Menton is a charming town directly bordering Italy that provides a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Monaco and Nice. It is known primarily for its annual Lemon Festival.
Roquebrune-Cap-Martin
Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is the village where Coco Chanel had her villa. The narrow streets of the Old Town lead up to an olive tree that is over a thousand years old, and the Grimaldi fortress towers above the village.
The Matisse Museum in Nice
The collection of works gathered at the Matisse Museum in Nice belongs to the largest in the world. There are also items of everyday use that once belonged to Henri Matisse.
Vence, Gombrowicz’s city
Witold Gombrowicz, a Polish writer of international renown, spent the last years of his life in Vence. In the village you will find traces of his presence. It is worth seeing the Old Town in Vence and its fountains from which mineral water flows.
