Nice - Niça or Nissa - Nizza
** In November 2005 We Visited The French Riviera **
(our home base hotel was in Nice)
Nice, in Occitan: Nica or Nissa, in Italian: Nizza, is a city in
southern France located on the Mediterranean coast, between
Marseille and Genoa.
Henri Matisse, who made his home in Nice, said, "Though
the light is intense, it's also soft and tender." The city has,
on the average, 300 days of sunshine a year.

Nice picture of the railway station, but can you tell me where can you park a car at the Nice railway station or anywhere near by??
Lovely photos of the place thanks and useful tips.Happy New Year!
How much were you short changed, perhaps it was the cover charge for the jazz. Not a lesson for tourist, a lesson for everybody, but it happens. It has happened to me in the States too.
Good informative page, and Boccaccio is one of my two favourite restaurants in Nice!
These chips are fabulous! We bought ours at the LeClerc supermaché outside of Cahors. They will be the first thing we look for on our next trip to France. Just another thing the French do so well!
Thanks for the NIce tips. I'm heading there next week. I've added some of your shopping tips to my folder. Can't wait. Afia
Mary and Al, Bar des Oiseaux changed owner last Christmas, the bar is still there but the atmosphere is not the same. Not a jazz place anymore. :-(. Lluis
Good to see you had busy time in Nice. I see you like to make the most of things. Most excellent.
