The Capital Of The French Riviera- Nice, France and nearby
Nice is the fifth largest city in France and after Paris, has the most museums. It attracts people from all over the world with its city mix of old world charm, vibrant streets, art, diverse culture, good cuisine, scenery and serenity. French and Italian cultures merge in an eclectic blend, since Nice was part of Italy until 1860 when it was given up to France. It is not a surprise that Chagall, Picasso and Renoir all fell in love with Nice as well as current residents including Elton John, Tina Turner, Bono and Keith Richards. Walking the streets is the best way to discover this seaside capital of the French Rivera.
