Greater Nice
Nice, capital of the French Riviera de la Côte d'Azur with its classical image of the Promenade des Anglais and the Old City is much too limited. Nice is undeniably a city of traditions, however today Nice is a city of carefully dosed paradoxes, featuring history and modernism, combining architectural heritage and nature conservation, culture and sport ... In short a dynamic and oxygenated resort.
Nice is an ideal departure point for theme trips and a multitude of pleasure and emotions. These can be Baroque theme trips, Russian itineraries, gastronomy outings, sporting activities ... and all the other possibilities available intra-muros ! But the city extends further than the pebbles of its beaches and the surrounding hillside. It includes the sea and its underwater sea-life, islands just a short boat ride away as well as the " necklace " of mountains with their protected fauna and flora, ideal for long hiking or mountain bike exhibitions with sops in the villages of the " Haut pays "
Seeing wolves and whales after a visit of the old city and a look round a museum represents a vivifying vision of Nice which is much closer to its current identity.
