Resort Description
Nice: a unique town surrounded by hills and nestling in the remarkable setting of the Baie des Anges, it is brimming with flowers and its bouquet of palm trees, mimosa, luxuriant parks, sumptuous mansions with their gardens line the Mediterranean coast.
Capital of the Côte d’Azur, queen of the Riviera, Nice is both a summer and winter resort. Situated at the end of the Baie des Anges, Nice enjoys an exceptional climate and landscape. The Paillon torrent, partially covered with esplanades on which the Theatre, the Palais Acropolis and The Exhibition Hall are built, divides the town into two districts: on the West side is the modern part of town and on the East side the old town and harbour, with the hill and its former castle towering above.
