Nice: capital of the French Riviera

Prefecture of the Alpes-Maritimes department and emblematic capital of the French Riviera, Nice is a city of exceptional richness. With its 350,000 inhabitants and nearly one million in its urban area, it is the second-largest city in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region and a key hub of the Mediterranean.

The birthplace of modern tourism

Nice is internationally recognized as the birthplace of modern tourism, a title perfectly illustrated by the famous Promenade des Anglais. Locally nicknamed "La Prom'", this avenue runs along the sea and beaches, offering breathtaking views of the azure waters of the Mediterranean. Lined with prestigious palaces such as the Negresco Hotel, the West End Hotel, the Palais de la Méditerranée, and the Westminster Hotel, the Promenade des Anglais is a true symbol of Nice's elegance and sophistication.

The charm of old Nice

Old Nice, with its picturesque narrow streets, colorful façades, and lively atmosphere, is a must-visit neighborhood. It boasts remarkable monuments, private mansions, and charming squares perfect for strolling. The Cours Saleya market, renowned for its flowers, fruits, and local specialties, is a true feast for the senses.

A remarkable cultural heritage

Nice is also a city of art and culture. The Matisse Museum, housed in an elegant 17th-century Genoese villa, features a unique collection dedicated to the famous painter Henri Matisse, who lived in the city for many years.

The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMAC), inaugurated in 1990, showcases iconic works of modern art and contemporary movements. Other venues, such as the Marc Chagall Museum, further enrich the city's cultural offerings.

Festive and unmissable events

Throughout the year, Nice comes alive with major events. The Nice Carnival, held every February, is one of the most famous in the world, drawing thousands of visitors with its colorful parades and flower battles. In summer, the Nice Jazz Festival, first held in 1948, welcomes international and local artists in an enchanting setting.

A mediterranean art of living

With its sunny climate, pebble beaches, hills, and Mediterranean lifestyle, Nice captivates with its timeless charm. The city is a perfect blend of Provençal traditions and cosmopolitan elegance, offering visitors a truly unique experience.

Whether for its heritage, events, or simply to enjoy its warm atmosphere, Nice remains an essential destination on the French Riviera.
