Nice
The pink-domed Belle Époque landmark on the Promenade des Anglais, filled with an eccentric art collection.
Nice is the capital of the Côte d'Azur and its most authentic city, with an Italianate old town, a daily flower and produce market on the Cours Saleya, and museums devoted to Matisse and Chagall. The Promenade des Anglais follows the curve of a pebble beach, and the castle hill offers a sweeping view over the bay and the port.
The old town and the area around the castle hill put you close to restaurants and the sea. The streets behind the Promenade are calmer, and the port quarter has a growing number of cafés and wine bars.
Nice has an international airport and good train links to Monaco, Antibes and Cannes, making it a practical base for the whole Riviera. The sea is warm from June to October.
