Nice & Around
Fabulous Nice, capital of the The French Riviera, occupies a prime position on the graceful iridescent curve of the Baie des Anges, or Bay of Angels, which stretches from Cap d’Antibes in the west to Cap Ferrat in the east. Moreover, Nice's Italianate charm, resulting from a long association with its neighbour; its Baroque buildings; near perfect climate; and setting at the foot of the Alps all contribute to its appeal.
Promenade des Anglais
Perhaps the most famous thoroughfare in France after the Champs Elysées, the Promenade des Anglais is one of the jewels of Nice.
Why ‘des Anglais’ in this quintessentially French resort? The Côte d’Azur or the Riviera as the English called it, was really discovered by the English back in the late 18th century. Wealthy families started to come to the shores of the Bay of Angels for the winter.
