 Nice,
the fifth largest city in France, acts as a magnet attracting people
from all over the world, for a multitude of reasons, Not only renowned
for its grace, Nice has become a hub for research in industry, science
and advanced technology since the creation of such centers as  Acropolis
and Sophia Antipolis. The Palais
de Congrès, a convention center, can accomodate diverse functions
and the international airport has a capacity that only Paris can better.Both
elegant and simple, Nice's charm comes from its exceptional climate
as well as its beauty. |
The architecture of Nice can be astonishing with the wild exaggerations
of the Belle Epoque style or the Baroque influenced houses and marisions
on the hills of Mont Boron. Fabulous creations have been realized in the floral gardens and parks
of the hills of the Chateau, the Chambrun park or the Espace Masséna.
 The only way to get to know the real Nice is by strolling through
the ochre colored streets listening to the "Niçois"
speaking their own language (Nissart) and by tasting their savory cooking,
One musn't miss the onion, anchovy and olive tarts called Pissaladières,
the vegetable and tuna sandwiches known as Pan Bagnat, the Salade
Niçoise or the famous Ratatouille (tomatoes eggplant
and zucchini squash stew). The main cooking ingredient is olive oil
ot course, and many of the dishes are garnished with the succulent little
black Nice olives called Caillette.
Nice
is also a city of art and culture and after Paris, has the most museums
in France. The city is animated at night as well as in the day especially
in the summer with the Nice Jazz Festival held in the arena, the gardens
of Cimiez, and the flower "war" on the Promenade des Anglais
in which participate the prettiest women on the Côte d'Azur (French
Riviera). Each day on the Cours Soleya there is the great flower market
where one can also find fruit and vegetables in the mornings. Each quarter
in Nice is alive with markets, boutiques and restaurants making the
whole city a lively place to visit. |
