Located on the southeast coast of France, this Mediterranean city is called "Nice la Belle" (Nice the Beautiful) for good reason. Between its comfortable climate and rich lifestyle, you will see why so many people are captivated by this gorgeous seaside destination.
Promenade des Anglais
One of Nice's most recognizable attractions, Promenade des Anglais is lined with cafes on the beach. Locals cycle, run and roller blade in the cool sea breeze. This famous Mediterranean promenade has become an icon of the French Riviera. Take a seat in one of the promenade's blue chairs and view the blue water out ahead. Aside from offering a terrific vantage point, the promenade is close to numerous sights so keep your eyes open: Palais de la Mediterranee, Casino Ruhl, The Hotel Negresco and Place Massena.
Cathédrale Orthodoxe Saint-Nicolas de Nice
Nice's Russian Orthodox Cathedral is the largest Orthodox cathedral in Western Europe. It is distinctly Russian yet has become a national landmark of France. It boasts a classic Russian architectural style with onion-shaped domes. Amid the gorgeous Mediterranean trees, the cathedral creates a stark contrast. It was a 1912 gift--lavishly decorated with icons and ornaments--from Russia's Tsar Nicholas II. This stylistic masterpiece is a truly unique structure for the region.
