The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Nice, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur

December 15, 2021 Tonie Szymanski

The deep blue waters of the Cote d’Azur are the dramatic backdrop for elegant Nice. Breathe in the fresh Mediterranean air as you stroll the waterfront promenade, or get an eagle eye of the whole city from atop Castle Hill. The pedestrians-only Place Rossetti is the heart of the city, with a grand fountain, vibrant buildings, and the beautiful Sainte-Réparate cathedral giving it a provincial French feel.

Promenade des Anglais

This famous street travels along Nice's Mediterranean waterfront.

Reviewed By mbc421 - Toronto, Canada

There is something to be said for a morning walk with a warm, salty summer breeze rolling off the Mediterranean. The Promenade des Anglais is a wide spot that is perfect for a morning jog, a hop down to the pebble beach, or simply stopping for a coffee or cocktail to people watch. I went in the morning and afternoon and found the experience more relaxed and less hot in the morning. The Promenade is close to the old town, so if you like long morning walks you can combine both. The Promenade is the best option for joggers, strollers, and slow-walking groups who want to stick together.

Beautiful setting. To find Henri Matisse, walk in and turn left, follow the signs to next left, then right and walk down stairs, past little storage building, curve down to right, Matisse's sepulchre is on its own plot of grass.
