Nice Travel Guide

 73 Reviews  You must wear Jellies ! The stony beaches can hurt and be hot in the summer so wear the right thing on the beach. If you don't like the look of the person next to you then move away some were else. I have been coming to Nice since 2001 and its a wonderful place. There has been some trouble in the... 

 42 Reviews  Visiting "LE PARC DU CHÂTEAU" . 'Le Château' isn't a château -- the castle on top of this high rock hill overlooking Nice old town and the port has been gone since 1706, but it's a great place to visit. There are cool walks in the shade of the trees, great views out over Nice and the Mediterranean,... 

 46 Reviews  Antibes is a well known pleasure yacht port with a scenic old town. We arrived from Nice by train and walked around the harbour which was full of private yachts. One of them, the Octopus is supposedly worth $200,000,000 (US). The Old town is partially walled and has a market place in Cours Masséna... 

 58 Reviews  Buying and selling property is one of the main heavy industries of the Cote d'Azur. Browsing real-estate agents windows is an absolutely must-do activity in Nice. Everybody is at it. What's on offer? What does it cost? Nice is one of the more desirable cities in France for Parisians, wealthy... 

 27 Reviews  Part pedestrian walkway, part "almost" street, part city square, Cours Saleya is the focal point of Vieux Nice. This elongated rectangle is home to a cornucopia of ripe produce, sidewalk cafés (including chez Theresa, see my la socca tip), souvenir shops and, most colorfully, on Tuesdays through... 

 23 Reviews  Built by Tsar Nicolas in 1912 in a small suburb a half mile west of Nice Ville railway station, the Cathedral offers an impressive architectural sight, and houses treasures of icons, woodwork, and frescos. It was the first church to be designated a Russian Orthodox Cathedral outside Russia, and is a... 

 19 Reviews  The heart of Nice beats in the Cours Saleya. The daily morning flower market offers much more than just cut flowers. Plants, cacti, fresh fruit, vegetables, delicatessen, bread, olives, socca, traditional glaced fruits, and on Mondays the flowers give way to antiques. Many tourists of course pass... 

 20 Reviews  Place Massena is an attractive square surrounded by shops and restaurants which are concentrated along the Rue Messina, a pedestrian only zone. A cluster of rich, red colored buildings mark the spot--it's hard to overlook them! This popular square was named for Marshal Massena, a man described as... 

 8 Reviews  This is not just another ordinary art museum. The Musée du Message Biblique Marc-Chagall (Marc Chagall Museum of Biblical Themes) contains only 17 large canvases, and a few other exhibits: you do not get intimidated by an infinite number of works of art glaring at you from every wall. This is a... 

 7 Reviews  From mid to late February each year the city of Nice stages the Nice Carnival. On selected days and evenings - weekend afternoons and Saturday night the carnival procession dominates the city centre. Themes have a satirical contemporary resonance - climate change, all-devouring duplicity of commerce... 

 13 Reviews  If you are a Henry Matisse fan then this is the place for you, and the location is great as well! The museum is located right by the Roman Ruins so you get the best of both worlds when visiting, kind of a two for one deal! From the train station its about a 20 minute walk so most people take a bus...

 5 Reviews  That's not an American restaurant... The Frog is located in old nice close to the flower market in a small street close to the opera do open your eyes otherwise you will miss it. Design and contemporary decorated you could seat in a small box or at the big table that could welcome 14 people With a... 

 3 Reviews  Tempting bundles of beautifully displayed flowers greeted us outside shops along the Coeurs Saleya--such vivid colors! We passed by on our way to the Promenade, stopping often to sniff in appreciation at all the delightful scents around us. It seemed that each small town or city we visited in...

 9 Reviews  Though the Baie des Anges looks picture postcard perfect from the viewpoint of the Chateau, close up, don't expect a sandy beach!. Nice beaches are pebbles - "galets" - and stones. Hard underfoot, you can only hobble down to the shoreline, or do as the natives do - wear plastic "jellies" on your...
