City breaks to Nice

Like a few of its neighbours in the south of France, Nice has a reputation for glitz and glamour. The city’s packed with grand buildings and luxury shops, and the marina’s not short of a flashy yacht or two. But the French Riviera’s Mediterranean climate means Nice also draws in sunseekers, who come to make the most of its beaches. The pebbly shorefront’s home to a whole host of beach clubs, from the chic to the family-friendly. And the palm-studded Promenade des Anglais provides plenty of people-watching spots.

The old town

There’s another side to Nice hidden in the narrow streets of its old town, where pastel-hued buildings border pretty, cobbled squares. The city’s main marketplace, Cours Saleya, makes a good starting point for a stroll through the historic centre. This pedestrian esplanade’s packed with vendors selling everything from flowers to fruit until midday, and come afternoon, it transforms into an open-air eatery. Don’t miss the Baroque-style Sainte-Reparate Cathedral – it’s been one of the city’s most important religious sites for over 400 years.

The art scene

Nice has a history of attracting famous artists like Matisse, Picasso and Chagall, so, unsurprisingly, there are a few art museums in this neck of the woods. The Matisse Museum houses a huge collection of the iconic French painter’s work, from his early pieces to some of his last sketches. Then, there’s the Chagall Museum, where everything from the overall theme to the layout of the gardens was designed by the artist himself.
