Nice, France
Nice is the fifth most populous city in France, located on the south east coast of the country along the stunning French Riviera, where the Mediterranean Sea gently meets the foothills of the Alps. This rare setting gives Nice a character that feels effortlessly balanced between sea and mountains, creating a landscape that is both relaxed and dramatic at the same time. Life in Nice moves at a pleasant pace, shaped by sunny days, coastal walks, and views that shift from deep blue waters to green and rocky alpine backdrops within minutes. The city is known for its long seafront promenades, lively public squares, and neighbourhoods that feel lived in rather than overly polished, which adds to its everyday charm. In the heart of the city, the old town reveals narrow streets, local cafés, open markets, and colourful buildings that reflect its strong Italian influence and layered history.
