Nice
Riviera capital with a pebble beach, a colourful old town and sea-view promenade.
For storytellers
Why Nice matters
Nice is the Riviera at its most relaxed. The Promenade des Anglais runs along a deep blue bay, the old town glows in ochre and pink, and the market stalls smell of socca and olives. Matisse and Chagall both left their mark here, and you are close to hill villages and other coastal towns by train.
Talking points
- The beach is pebbles, not sand; bring sandals.
- The old town hides tiny squares, bakeries and baroque churches.
- Trains and buses link Nice to Monaco and Cannes along the coast.
