Nice is a vibrant city in the south of France, situated on the azure Mediterranean Sea between Marseille and Genoa. With over 350,000 inhabitants, it is the second-largest city in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region and the heart of the French Riviera. Thanks to its mild Mediterranean climate and elegant location between sea and mountains, Nice became a popular destination for international travelers from the 19th century onwards, particularly for wintering aristocrats and artists. The famous Promenade des Anglais, laid out along the coast, became the symbol of this fashionable seaside resort. Today, Nice remains a leading tourist attraction, known for its rich culture, gastronomy, festivals, and museums. In 2021, the city, and in particular the historic area around the Promenade des Anglais, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in recognition of its unique role as a winter retreat for foreigners and its lasting influence on the development of European tourism.
