Nice

Nice, a historic city... Just across the manicured Albert 1st Gardens from the Hotel Plaza Concorde is the Old Quarter of Nice, dating back to Medieval times, with a labyrinth of narrow streets, colourful antiques and flower markets, tempting restaurants, the ancient Palais Lascaris (Palace), and numerous artists' studios and galleries.

The beautiful island of Corsica is only 3 hours away now that the High Speed Ferry is in service from the port of Nice.

Nice, city of culture... boasts an impressive range of museums, including:
The Chagall and Matisse Museums: definitive exhibitions of the work of painters Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse, both closely associated with the French Riviera.

Nice hosts a constant stream of exciting events:

The world-famous Carnival in February
The Nice Open Tennis Tournament in the spring
The Monaco Grand Prix just up the coast is the highlight of May
The Nice jazz Festival in July
