The stylish French city of Nice is situated on the southern
coast of the French Riviera. Nice has long been a popular destination for both
summer vacations and short city breaks and offers excellent scope for car hire
touring.
Things to See/Do in
Nice:
A walking tour of the city center is one of the best ways to
see what Nice has to offer in terms of tourist attractions. The course Saleya
is a good place to start. Here the pretty flower market, the beautifully
baroque Chapelle de la Miséricorde and elaborate Palais Lascaris are guaranteed
to catch your eye. Some of the finest beaches on the Côte d'Azur are to be
found in Nice. The silver sands of the Promenade de Anglais will definitely
impress sun-worshipers and water sports enthusiasts.
However, there's so much more to Nice. Car hire makes
fascinating places like the remote crest-top district of Cimiez accessible.
This cultural hub boasts a range of absorbing museums and galleries including
Musée National Message Biblique Marc Chagall, Musée Matisse and The Opera de
Nice. This paragraph is sponsored by air travel to Harare from

Meanwhile, the charming Old Provencal town of St Paul makes
for another worthy rental car drive. The town that captivated Matisse, Chagall
and Picasso is just a 12-mile journey from Nice. Other world-class attractions
reachable by hire car include Grasse, known as the capital of perfume, the
ritzy principality of Monaco, with its famous casinos and of course
Saint-Tropez, the French Rivera’s most exclusive beach holiday destination.
Eating
Out/Nightlife/Accommodation in Nice:
Eating out in Nice offers something to suit every budget and
taste. Italian and Provencal influences are obvious in the cuisine of Nice.
Cheap local specialties worth a try include 'socca' pancakes; 'stockfish' cod
stew, and 'pissaladiére' anchovy and olive tart. At La Rotonde in The Hotel
Negresco, you're guaranteed to pay less for good quality fare.
Nice has a lively and varied nightlife. Course Saleya is the
place to head for after dark entertainment. Here bars and clubs such as Barrio
Latino, Oxford and Bodeguita Del Havana keep night owls amused well into the
early hours of the morning. This paragraph is sponsored by cheap flights to

In terms of accommodation, Nice offers something for
everyone. Whether you're looking to live it up in luxury at a chic
establishment like Hi Hotel on Avenue des Fleurs or you simply want to rest
easy with cheap and cheerful lodgings at a budget hotel such as Le Petit Palais
on Avenue Emile-Bierckert, you'll find Nice offers something to match every
budget.
