Some visit the city of Nice because it is said to have the most beautiful beach on France's Cote d'Azur. Others visit because it is one of the "places at which to be seen". Whatever your reason, Nice is great place to visit and also an excellent base to visit the rest of the Cote d'Azur.

Located just behind the Quai des Etats-Unis in the old part of the city, the Cours, with its old fashioned street lamps, striped awnings and dozens of boutiques and shops, is one of the most charming pedestrian malls in the world.

Even though the food of the city is rarely sophisticated, it is often fresh, piquant and zesty. Bouillabaisse is the great thick fish stew of the region. In addition to crabs, shrimps, small lobsters and other sea fish, a true bouillabaisse must also contain sea bass, monkfish and red mullet and, in addition to everything else must have onion, saffron, tomatoes, garlic, wine and olive oil.
