Promenade des Anglais in Nice
Promenade des Anglais in Nice is the most important attraction in the city. It stretches for seven kilometers and provides an uninterrupted view of the azure sea and palm trees.
Place Massena and the Paillon Promenade in Nice
Place Massena is Nice’s main square, and it is from here that it is worth starting your city tour. It is crossed by the Paillon Promenade, which is built over the river. The whole area is a great place to watch the everyday, unhurried lifestyle of the inhabitants of Nice, and relax among greenery and fountains.
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.
