Nice Vacations and Tour Packages

Overview

Nice is the fifth largest city in France and is the capital of the Alpes Maritimes located on the southeast coast of the country on the Mediterranean Sea. It is also the second-largest French city on the Mediterranean coast.  

The natural beauty of the Nice area and its mild Mediterranean climate came to the attention of the English upper classes in the second half of the 18th century when an increasing number of aristocratic families took to spending their winters there. The city's main seaside promenade, the Promenade des Anglais (‘the Walkway of the English') owes its name to the earliest visitors to the resort. It has been home to some of the Western culture's most outstanding painters. Many of their works are in the city's museums. Among its many attractions on trips to France are its beautiful beaches, lovely seaside promenade and interesting museums.
