The Verdon Gorges forms the largest canyon in Europe. The Verdon Gorge is a river canyon located in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of Southeastern France. It is about 25 km long and up to 700 metres deep. It was formed by the Verdon River, which is named for its turquoise-green colour, one of the location's distinguishing characteristics. In between the towns of Castellane and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, the river has cut a ravine to a depth of 700 meters through the limestone mass. At the end of the canyon, the Verdon flows into the artificial Lake of Sainte-Croix.
The gorge is very popular with tourists, who can drive around its rim, rent kayaks to travel on the river, or hike. The limestone walls, which are several hundreds of metres high, attract many rock climbers. It is considered an outstanding destination for multi-pitch climbing, with 1,500 routes available ranging from 20 metres to over 400 metres.

The Old Town of Nice (Vieille Ville), also called Old Nice (Vieux Nice), lies just below Castle Hill. To the south it borders on the Promenade des Anglais, while to the north it touches the Paillon River, or rather the Promenade of Paillon, because the river has been flowing through the city in an underground channel since 1972. The names of streets in the Old Town are written in two versions: in French and in the local Nissart dialect.
The Old Town of Nice is full of historic tenements, churches, and squares. A walk through the narrow and shaded streets allows you to, almost, go back in time and feel the spirit of Old Nice – you just need to know where to look for it.
A stroll around Old Nice is best started from Place Massena, which is the central square of Nice. Going towards the sea, which is visible between the buildings, you will, in a minute, reach the green square called the Esplanade Georges Pompidou. Right behind this square, on the promenade, stands a tall sculpture that I call toothpicks, but is in fact a work by Venet commemorating the 150th anniversary of the annexation of Nice by France. But this is the Promenade des Anglais area, so let’s go back to the Old Town.
Just turn left onto the main street of historical Nice, Saint-François de Paule. This leads to Nice’s main marketplace – Cours Saleya. Along the way, you will pass the Opera House and Patisserie Henri Auer – a chocolate and candied fruit workshop that has been operating here since 1820. Queen Victoria of England personally bought her favorite chocolates here.
The Cours Saleya is an elongated square that, until midday, is filled with stalls of flowers and food, and which later transforms into a huge restaurant under the open sky. Every Monday there is a flea market here, which moves to the Old Port of Nice on other days. Here it is worth trying a traditional pancake made from chickpea flour called Socca.
The Old Town lies between Castle Hill and the town center, a block in from the beach and the Quai des Étas Unis (the beachfront promenade which extends from the Promenade des Anglais).

It's a thoughtful look at the life and development of Matisse as an artist. View works from the very start of his career through to the magnificent Fleurs et Fruits and Nu Bleu. It's a gallery that will suit those who wish to know more about Matisse. The house and surrounding settings are worth the visit also.
Henri Matisse is widely regarded as the greatest colorist of the 20th century. The French artist used color as the foundation for his expressive, decorative and large-scale paintings. He once wrote that he sought to create art that would be “a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair”.

Ideally located between Nice and Monaco, the port of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat represents the "French Riviera" in all its splendor and so sought after by visitors from around the world.
The old fishing village became a holiday haven in the early 20th century, with the arrival of wealthy foreign families, who built vast estates, like Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild. Many artists chose to stay there: Jean Cocteau decorated Villa Santo Sospir.
An 10 km coastal footpath offers exceptional panoramas. Beaches and creeks are an invitation to relax, while a wide range of water sports make it ideal for sportier stays.

FLORIDA BEACH is a very pleasant private beach, located opposite the CUM Mediterranean University Center. Florida Beach, between Poincare and Voilier beaches is now only a public beach as the former private Florida beach restaurant has closed. The gradual drop-off and gravel at the water's edge make sea access among the easiest in Nice. If you don't have watershoes, Florida beach is the place for you.

Created in 1840, the most famous square in the Côte d'Azur has never stopped renewing itself. Place Masséna was designed to link the old quarters with the resort town that developed on the right bank of the Paillon. It became the center of the city thanks to its successful layout, marking the meeting point between the Old Nice, the access to the Promenade des Anglais, the beginning of Rue Masséna which is more commonly known as "la zone piétonne" [the pedestrian area] as well as the beginning of the busy shopping street, Avenue Jean Médecin. Moreover, Nice's Galeries Lafayette are located here, behind a majestic red façade. It sets the tone for the colour of the other buildings surrounding the square.
Spanish artist Jaume Plensa gave this place a new perspective by installing his work "Conversation in Nice." He conceived of seven statues perched here at around ten metres above the ground, representing the seven continents and which are illuminated when night falls. Crossed by the Promenade du Paillon, a 12-hectare park in the heart of the city, it is part of a setting combining iconic architecture, verdant vegetation and an azure blue sky. A real meeting place, it's partly here that the city's major events take place and where the famous floats of the Carnaval de Nice parade every year.
To get to Place Masséna in Nice, you can take Tram Line 2 towards Port Lympia and exit at the Jean Médecin stop, or use the Lignes d'Azur buses connecting the airport to the city center. Taxis and rental cars are also available at the airport. Alternatively, you can walk from Nice to Place Masséna, which is about 570 meters and takes about 6 minutes.

Built at the top of a hill, it stood overlooking the bay of Nice from the 11th century to the 18th century. It was besieged several times, especially in 1543 and in 1691, before it was taken by French troops in 1705 and finally destroyed in 1706 by command of Louis XIV. Nowadays, Castle Hill is used as a park.
