Hello, nice

The Greeks and Romans did it, as did rich lords, film stars, artists, and thousands of tourists. They were just going to pass by but instead remained in Nice and along the Riviera. Some for just a few weeks, others for months and years. They were too captivated by the light, enchanted by the scents, and charmed by the taste of olives and wine. Additionally, a Nice Nouveau has evolved – a sassy Mediterranean metropolis with pulsating nightlife, modern hotels, and daring art galleries. All this with a chance to dabble their toes in a turquoise sea.

Musée Matisse

Let’s face it, you are not going to find any of Matisse’s greatest works here. They are all in the USA. On the other hand, there is a clear picture of the artistic genius’ development, from his sickbed as a young man to his grave behind the museum. After a visit, you can walk around in the painter’s footsteps and compare the light in each painting. In addition, the red ochre villa is beautiful in its own right.

Phœnix Parc Floral de Nice

Phœnix Parc Floral de Nice is the world’s largest greenhouse. Seven different tropical climates (damp, in other words) covering seven hectares, packed with 2,500 different plants. You can walk in the shadow of an (almost) unknown palm tree here, look at a baby shark, smell a thousand flowers and listen to bird song- on the loudspeakers.

Place Rossetti

After strolling around in Nice, you might come to the point in which you'd like only to sit down and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Place Rossetti is the perfect destination to do just that: find a place in the shade, buy an ice-cream and relax. It's a charming and vibrant pedestrian square in the heart of Nice's historic Old Town. The focal point of the square is the stunning baroque-style cathedral, Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate, which boasts a beautiful façade and impressive bell tower.
