Nice, capital of the Mediterranean region on the French Riviera, lies on the sandy beaches of the Mediterranean Sea. Belonging to many ethnic groups, Nice is a melting pot of people, culture and tradition. Founded by the ancient Greeks and later an important retreat for wealthy Parisian elite, Nice is today a thriving tourist destination. Former resident Henri Matisse resides in a home built by him, and his art is honored by a life-size exhibition in the museum. A number of other well-known French designers are also found in Nice, most notably the urban designer Gautier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nice has a fascinating history, too, with its incorporation into France after the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire. The city is home to many eminent cultural figures, and the world-famous Nice Cathedral and Palais de Justice are sites to be seen. Much of Nice’s history, however, can be visited on foot, as it has a high degree of bike traffic. Here, tourist must do some walking and take advantage of Nice’s excellent public transportation system, which is both safe and affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nice, like many coastal cities in southern France, is home to a vast network of pedestrian shopping streets. The main thoroughfare in the city is Plage de la Croiette, which boasts a variety of boutiques, small independent shops, restaurants and other businesses. One of the more prominent tourist attractions in Nice is its popular Roman-style square called the Pompidor. The square, which features five floors, is made up of a series of shops and restaurants that display antiques and gift items. A must-visit is the tourist attraction called La Comercia, which sells local art on its first floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city of Nice enjoys a diverse mixture of cultures, as it is home to Arabs,icans and Gypsies. Many of these historic and modern visitors to Nice come to observe the local culture. One of the most prominent tourist attractions is the Pompidor, which is a medieval fortification that was designed by a French general, Jean Baptiste Lautou. While viewing this historic building is a must for any Nice tourist, he or she must also see the Pompidor’s largest gallery, which exhibits a selection of his most impressive paintings. To the north, Nice features a very large and well-preserved forest; the Ch\u00e2teau des Baux-de-Provence, or Old Forest Park, is open for hikers. Surrounded by trees and flowers, Chateau des Baux-de-Provence is the perfect place for a picnic and peaceful reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who want to see more of North France but aren’t exactly in the mood for medieval history, La Tour Eiffel Tower is the ideal choice. Here tourists can take in the wonderful view of Paris from the observation deck located above the Tower. There are several other sites in Nice that must be seen, including the main square, porte cochon, Etoile de Portoire, and Etoile de Neveu. Other must-visit activities include the Petite Canard, the Carousel de la Galerie, the Picasso Museum, and the Bell tower of Valence d’Avignon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No trip to Nice would be complete without a visit to its famous chocolate factory, which operates twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week. Tourists should check out the various tours that include stops at the chocolate factory and its adjacent farms. Among the best things to see in Nice are its twenty-three museums, all of which offer something different. The main museum is the Autopia Utopian, while the tourist center has the Botanical Gardens, the Musee de l’ Art Brut and the Mediterranean Theater. Children will especially appreciate the Little Flowers Children Farm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
