Situated on the French Riviera near Marseille, Nice is one of the leading resorts in the south of France. The English started coming here in the 18th century to spend the winter – drawn by the sublime Mediterranean climate and glorious setting which remain huge attractions to this day. Nice is, of course, focused on its beach, the famous Promenade des Anglais and is largely about seeing and being seen.There are lots of wonderful squares in the town itself, and plenty of interesting architecture with stacks of historical sites in the city, and the surrounding area.With budget flights and a range of accommodation on offer, you don’t have to earn as much as a film star to enjoy a taste of their lifestyle.
