Nice : Pearl of the French Riviera

Located in South of France Nice is the biggest city of the French Riviera. Nice is composed by two parts; Old town (Vieux Nice)  and New Part. Old Town is situated in the inner part and it’s very vivid full of restaurants, old buildings tile floors…Both parts are worth seeing.

Here you go the list of what to-do’s in Nice:

1) Nice Beaches: Nice has the most beautiful beaches in the French Riviera. It has the bluest sea of all times. Also known as Baia des Anges (Angel’s Bay) Nice has 15 private beaches plus public beaches. If you like to have a romantic escape you should try Lido Beach. Nice society prefers Castle Beach however my favorite spot was Sporting Plage because it wasn’t that crowded and they serve very high quality food.

2) Estienne D’Orves: This parc has a history of 1000years. Located in the city center this parc offers a quiet spot to chill.
