Nice is the second-largest city in France's Provence region, following Marseille.
Let us relish in some gorgeous views of this beautiful city.
Your 'to-do' list in Nice should most definitely include:
- strolling the Promenade des Anglais
- enjoying the view from the local chateau
- soaking up the sun, sitting along the Mediterranean, on a pebbly beach
- tantalizing your taste buds with all the lavender and rose-flavored gelato you can manage
- enjoying the beauty of the city's (and overall region's) multitude of colorfully shuttered windows
- picking up a locally-crafted lavender product to take home with you
We left Nantes one October evening on an overnight couchette train and about 11 hours later, arrived in Nice the following morning. We left the chilly, autumnal northwest corner of France and seemingly traveled back through the season, seeing as we arrived to this...

All who visit Nice simply must hike up to the top of the local chateau, located at the eastern end of the Promenade des Anglais. You will be rewarded with an outstanding view of the entire city similar to this one.

Strolling, rollerblading and people-watching under the palm trees is made easy on the Promenade.

Don't forget to bring a sturdy pair of sandals when trapsing along the beach. Pebbly beaches are the norm here. I suppose this is a good way to engage the core and get an extra ab workout.
