What’s this all about?With its mix of real city grit and old world opulence, Nice is an exceptional location with year round sunshine. You could happily spend a week in Nice and still be hungry for more!

Tour operator Elky tells us why she think Nice is the perfect French retreat.

What to see and do:Everyone from backpackers to romantic couples and families will love sitting at a sunny terrace on Cours Saleya in Vieux Nice or a bench on the legendary Promenade des Anglais, one of world’s best spots for people watching.

In the evenings you can take a walk to the Port for an epic sunset, before checking out some of the best eating options you’ll find in France, the buzzing night life and thriving art scene.

Nice nightlife Nice is all about food! There's no denying that the local cuisine is a big part of anyone's trip to the French Riviera. Real Niçois cooking is simple and honest with fresh ingredients in Mediterranean style with a strong Italian influence.

Nice also has a lively club scene with live music at numerous bars all year through. Our favourites are the Gossip Bar with own house DJ and Fred's at the Port.
