Nice
Nice is a delight, with its flower market, gorgeous coastline, the drinks mere feet from the Mediterranean, great shopping and delightful pastries. In fact, it is much more than just a place for fun in the sun. Art aficionados’ must-sees include major museums. Archaeological buffs ruminate over the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Cemenelum. France’s fifth-largest city is naughty, it’s nice…and everything in between.
