NICE
With the Mediterranean lapping at its shores Nice enjoys a prime position in the Cote d’Azure. See the work of Henri Matisse, honoured at the Musee Matisse on the hilltop where the artist once lived. People-watch along the Promenade des Anglais at the heart of the action. Dine on local Nicois dishes washed down with some excellent ‘vin de Bellet’; Nice’s house wine, produced on the hills directly behind the city.
