Established by the Greeks in 350 BC and made fashionable by rich and famous Europeans in the 19th century, Nice is a lovely coastal city on the French Riviera between the Mediterranean and the Alps. It has a huge pebbly beach that hugs the bay, shops, restaurants, and all kinds of hotels that greet millions of tourists every year.
Once the playground of the elite, Nice is now flooded by tourists from all over the world who cannot resist the unique combination of a perfect sunny climate, warm Mediterranean waters, spectacular architecture, ancient ruins, superb French cuisine, and all the tourist trappings of the 21st century. The mesmerizing beauty of the city and its lively spirit has attracted artists for a long time – Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall called it home at one point and created some of their best works in Nice.
