Nice in General

When you think of the French Riviera you think of sun, sea and sand. The beaches are where most of Nice’s tourists head straight for. If you are a sun worshipper then this will suit you down to the ground. Naturally, there is more to do in France’s fifth largest city than just laze in the sun.

If you are looking to see ‘old Nice’, where the real Niçoise people live, make your way to Vielle Ville which is the city’s old town. The area is a maze of narrow streets and walking through the area shows you there is more to the city than beautiful people and money.

If you turn your back to the Mediterranean Mont Alban confronts you. Take the charming Cheminde Fer de Provence (Railroad of Provence) which transports you through the natural setting of rocks and hills culminating in a breathtaking panorama of the Alps and the Mediterranean. IF this wasn’t sufficient, within forty miles of Nice there are ten casinos and three international ski resorts!
Nice is famous the world over as a playground for the rich and famous.It is however much more than just that.
