Arrive in Nice on a cloudless day, and you'll get the shock of a lifetime. The airstrip lies in the Mediterranean sea and from the plane it looks like you're going to hit the water. But let this not stop you for going to Nice because you will absolutely fall in love with this place. The drive/bus ride in from the airport along the Promenade des Anglais is the perfect introduction to the French Riviera's gem of a city. This is the Mediterranean as you pictured it!

Nice has the beach (warning: it's a large pebble beach, but on the plus side you won't get sand stuck anywhere), the sun, the charming pedestrian old town with his little cute markets, as well as magnificiant back country: La vallée des Merveilles.

There are a lot of charming restaurants and you can feel you are in the South of France. People are open, calm and optimistic, a real southern ambiance.

Use Nice as a jumping off point to visit all round: Cannes, Monaco, Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, Grasse are wonderful day excursions. Or just sit back, relax, and order a beverage on the world famous Cours Saleya. There's something for everyone! Nice is sophisticated.
