City Guide: Nice

     Looking for somewhere nice on the French Riviera, try Nice.

     Nicknamed "Nice la Belle" (nice the beautiful) by the French, the description is apt - to say Nice is nice is an understatement.

     Tourists have loved the southern French city, situated on the Cote d'Azur on the Mediterranean coast, for centuries.

     They are drawn to the city by its sun and pebbled beaches below the seaside Promenade des Anglais. The street takes it's name from the earliest visitors to the resort town - the English aristocracy - drawn to Nice in the 18th Century by its natural beauty and climate.

     Its popularity is best illustrated by the fact Nice is second only to Paris in terms of tourism and  has the second largest hotel capacity in France.
