Nice is a city by sea, with an ancient atmosphere, in the north of France. It is famous all over the world for its mild Med climate all the year round, brilliant sunshine, long sands and the life full of leisure in the old city area. Nice gains advantage from both sides. On the right is the city of Cannes, not far away from it, which is well known for the movie festival. On the left is Monte Carlo of Monaco which is only about ten minutes driving road. November in every year is the time for the wine of newest season to coming out of the vault. You can be lucky to taste the most delicious wine in France if you go there this time.

 

The old city area and the new city area in Nice is separated, so the old city area that is built in the 17th and 18th century is kept intact and in good condition. The distinctive feature of the old area is the color. Most of the buildings are bright yellow. In the pure sunshine of Med, you can feel they are fresh and bold.

 

There is a busy morning market which can date from several hundreds years ago every day in the center square in the old area. Wednesdays and Saturdays are the days you can buy fresh flowers here. Fridays are the days you can buy fresh fruit. It becomes the market for stamps and old books. Beside, the pitchman will come here to sell many things such as the second-hand clothes, the ware, and the family appliances and so on when holidays.

 

Promenade des Anglais is the main seaside road. It is named after the England people who invest to build the holiday resort. There are many palm trees on both sides of the seaside road beside which there are top-grade hotels of neo-Baroque style in Napoleon age.
