Nice, France Vacations

Nice is really one of these glamour destinations we have all heard off. Most of the rich and beautiful people, the jet set, from the fifties through the sixties and seventies have been here.
As a starting point for museums and galleries, Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Musee Matisse and the Musee National Message Biblique Marc Chagall would be a great sampling of the cultural experience of what Nice has to offer.

If you are in for strolling around the city don't miss Cours Saleya - open-air marketplace, Old Town (Vielle Ville), Castle Hill (Colline Du Chateau) and of course long meandering walks along the Mediterranean.

The Carnival is a highpoint in the vibrant nightlife in  Nice, a 10 day celebration with parades, concerts, street theater and  fireworks.
 
Our Opnion
Nice has a something for everyone to enjoy. From sun enthusiast, there are the polished pebbled beaches and azure water, to the culture aficionados, there is gastronomic extravagance of Michelin recognized restaurants to little "hole in the walls" and museums and art galleries to while away the hours.
