The elegant capital of the Côte d'Azur — Belle Époque grandeur and the legendary blue Promenade.
Nice is the capital of the French Riviera — a refined blend of French elegance and Italian relaxation (the city belonged to Savoy, Italy, until 1860). The Promenade des Anglais is a legendary seafront promenade, the Vieille Ville old town is colourful and lively, and Monaco and Cannes are just a half-hour train ride away.
