Nice (Côte d'Azur)
Nice, capital of the Côte d'Azur, is a land of creation, innovation, research and cultural exchange.
There is no doubt whatsoever about the success of Nice as a first class resort throughout the world. One may ask the reasons for such renown. Is it the mildness of the climate that is considered to be sub-tropical? Or is it 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 happily rubbing shoulders with the blue shades of the Mediterranean Sea and sky. The sun is highlights the yellow hue of the flowers, and the ochre sides of the homes, in a natural setting of rocks and hills. It is indeed easy to understand the fascination exerted by the Côte d'Azur on those artists, painters, writers, sculptors and musicians who contributed to her fame and to whom the museums of Nice have paid a deserved tribute. |
