Nice

The natural beauty of the Nice area and its mild Mediterranean climate came to the attention of the English upper class in the second half of the 18th century, when an increasing number of aristocratic families took to spending their winter here.

The city's main seaside promenade, the Promenade des Anglais ("the Walkway of the English') owes its name to the earliest visitor to the resort. for decades now, the picturesque Nicean surroundings have attracted not only those in search of relaxation, but also those seeking inspiration.

The clear air and soft light has been of particular appeal to some of the Western culture's most outstanding painters, such as Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, Niki de Saint Phalle and Arman. Their work is commemorated in many of the city's museums, including Museé Marc Hagall, Musée Matissa and Musée Matisse and Musée des Beaux-Arts Jules Chéret.
