Nice is a huge, busy city nestling on the French Riviera and surrounded on the remaining three sides by mountains. As well as its location, it is famous for the Promenade des Anglais, where you can see and be seen by walkers, runners, joggers, cyclists and rollerbladers. The white pebbled beach stretches for about six miles and leads into a gorgeous turquoise sea. The buildings are tall and elaborately ornamented. From these, every day, thousands of citizens and tourists spill out into the city.
Nice is also famous for its February festival. This is a wild, ten day celebrations with daily parades, music and street theatre. It has been running for over 120 years.

Hotels in PARIS, France with late rooms and last minute discounts.

Nice is now one of the most well known cities in France. Visitors come here all year round to enjoy the comforts of a modern city, with its many cultural events, whilst also being charmed by the old sector with its higgledy piggledy narrow streets, ancient port and flower market.

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA) is one of the 26 regions of France.
It is made up of:
The former French province of Provence
The former papal territory of Avignon, known as Comtat Venaissin
The former Sardinian-Piedmontese county of Nice, whose coastline is known in English as the French Riviera, and in French as the Côte d'Azur
The southeastern part of the former French province of Dauphiné, in the French Alps.

It encompasses six departments in south-eastern France, bounded to the east by the Italian border, to the south by the Mediterranean Sea to the north by Rhône-Alpes, and to the west by Languedoc-Roussillon, with the Rhône river marking its westernmost border.

The region logo displays the coat of arms created in the 1990s and which combines the coats of arms of the old provinces making up Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.

Notable cities and places in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur include: Aix-en-Provence, Antibes, Apt, Arles, Avignon, Les Baux de Provence, Cannes, Cassis, Cavaillon, Digne-les-Bains, Frejus, Grasse, Juan-les-Pins, Marseille, Menton, Nice, Orange, Saint-Raphaël, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, Saint-Tropez, Tende, Toulon, Vence.
