Nice, France beach guide & holiday information
Nice, the fifth-largest city in France, located on the Mediterranean coast in the south, is naughty, and nice, and everything in between. It might sound like a cliché to say that the Côte d'Azur's cosmopolitan & historical capital has something for everyone, but quite simply, it does. Fascinating museums & galleries, ruins of the ancient Roman city of Cemenelum, secret passages leading to narrow pedestrian laneways in the romantic old town, colourful flower and produce markets, antiques galore, international and local festivals and a buzzing nightlife are to name a few of the highlights to be found in this gastronomes paradise on the French Riviera.
Accommodation options are just as plentiful, so why not book the resort, hotel, b&b, apartment or whatever takes your fancy and come sip cocktails in the sun on the shores of the azure sea. Bring the family for a fun filled vacation in the sun, or plan the perfect getaway for yourself and your sweetheart, and take a stroll along the promenade des Anglais by the sparking Palm trees in the evening. Population for the city of Nice is around 341,621
