General information about Nice
There
is no doubt whatsoever about the success of Nice through the
world. But, what are the reasons for it?
The mildness of the climate, which is said sub-tropical?
The diversity of the landscapes, the richness of the flora, the
beauty of the great Mediterranean Sea?
In
fact, everything is accentuated in Nice, the light is so bright
that the colors are flashing. The pines are green and are happily
rubbing shoulders with the blue shades of the Mediterranean Sea
and the sky, the sun is highlighting the yellow tones of the
flowers, the ochre sides of the houses, in a natural setting of
rocks and hills : it is indeed easy to understand the fascination
exerted by the Côte d'Azur on the artists, painters, writers,
sculptors, musicians, who contributed to her fame and to whom the
museums of Nice are paying a deserved tribute. Enjoy this with
your villa rental
The
tourist trade was born in Nice in the eighteenth century with the
winter stays of famous aristocrats, first English, than Russian
and American who gave to the region a bright and fashionable way
of life. Slowly, the popular touring for villa rental on the
French Riviera has been developing and after the second world war,
the summer season is definitely taking over the winter one. Today,
the tourist industry is the first economical activity of Nice. All
kind of leisure and touring are offered : green touring, sea,
sportive, luxury, alpine, congress and trade
tourism. The
Acropolis, the Arts, Tourism and Congress Exhibition Center is
ranking among the first congress centers of the world.
The
continuous improvements of the infrastructures - rail, road,
airport and port - allow an easy access and a direct link to most
of the biggest cities in the world. The total amount of tourist
accommodation is placing Nice, second town in terms of hotel, just
before Paris. If the
Carnival of Nice has been for a long time the major tourist
event of Nice, now, there are numerous international events which
are giving a rhythm to the life of the town, such as the
Nice Jazz Festival, without mentioning the sportive meetings -
Nikaïa,
Triathlon,
Semi-Marathon.
In the same time, the cultural aspects are generating an intense
artistic life. Although Nice may be considered as a modern town,
it has not forgotten its traditions. They are celebrated through
the May, the
Cougourdons, the Vineyards
feasts, where the gastronomy
of Nice is honored and the "niçois", the local
dialect coming from the langue d'oc, the southern French is king
of the day. To be the king, come and enjoy your future French
Riviera villa rental
The
heritage of Nice is constantly under care, by protecting the
frescos and the trompe l'oeil which are ornamenting the façades
of the houses of the Old-Nice, by maintaining the activity of the
Cours Saleya, where is held every day the flower, fruit and
vegetable market, and the Saint-François Square with its fish
market. The beauty of Nice is also due to its green spaces, 300
hectares of garden, its trees, plane trees, linden trees,
bay-trees, pine and palm trees, which are lining the avenues, the
fountains of the forum Masséna or
the Acropolis esplanade.
Nice
has been classified, for over ten years, as the first town of
France for its flowering and for the beauty of its gardens. Today,
Nice is shown outside the competition, for outstanding merits. The
pedestrian
roads which are surrounding Nice allow the discovery, from
various points of view of the Baie des Anges, the Angels' Bay.
