About Nice
City overview
Nice is the French Riviera's big-city base, squeezed between the Baie des Anges, Vieux Nice lanes, Cimiez hills, and the blue train line toward Monaco and Cannes. The traveler frame is the Promenade des Anglais for sea views, Vieux Nice and Cours Saleya for markets and baroque streets, and Cimiez or Mont Boron for Roman ruins, Matisse, and quieter outlooks.
Food & drink
Nice is the home base for socca, salade niçoise, pan bagnat, pissaladière, petits farcis, ratatouille, and tourte de blettes. Cours Saleya, Marché de la Libération, Chez Pipo near the port, and old-town snack counters make the Niçois staples easy to compare.
