Nice

Capital of the French Riviera

Nice is the undisputed capital of the Côte d'Azur — a vibrant city where Belle Époque architecture meets a thriving tech scene. The Promenade des Anglais, Vieux Nice's colourful alleys, and world-class museums (Matisse, Chagall) draw millions, while a booming property market makes it France's second most expensive city after Paris.
