Nice and its famous Promenade des Anglais bordering the Bay of Angels is well-known to visitors from all the world, the capital of the Côte offers views often less familiar, yet full of warmth and charm.
The picturesque Old Town with its lively streets and Provençal market is set between the Port on one side and the "Baie des Anges" (Bay of Angels) on the other. Brimming with color, the Old Town has a very Italian atmosphere ; here one easily recalls that Nice belonged to Italy for many long centuries.
The seafront, dotted with proud façades and palatial hotels, stretches out for almost 8 km along the Promenade des Anglais and its vast beach of rounded pebbles.
As soon as you leave the seafront to climb one of Nice's hills (the "Jardin du Château" or Castle Gardens above the Port, Mont-Boron surveying the Cap de Nice, or the neighbourhood known as Cimiez), you come across beautiful views in which the light changes frequently depending on the time of day. Lastly, Place Massena and the neighbouring streets comprise the main shopping area in Nice.
