NICE – JEWEL OF THE FRENCH RIVIERA
No matter how often you visit the city of Nice on the French Riviera, there are always plenty of delights to experience and explore. It wasn’t always the case though. For many years, much of Nice was run-down and the area close to the docks was nothing more than a seedy sailors’ haunt. This was certainly the case when we first visited Nice back in 1975. In those days, Cannes was the place to go. Today, Nice is almost unrecognisable from those days. All that has been cleaned up, restored and revitalised and the area is full of vibrant cafes and restaurants, hotels, inviting shops, pedestrianised streets and some of the best museums in the country.
