Nice will always have my heart 🇫🇷❤️

This summer, I had the pleasure of spending a few days in Nice, France, and I absolutely fell in love with this vibrant city on the French Riviera. 🌞🌴 Located on the stunning Côte d’Azur, Nice has a perfect blend of culture, history, and seaside relaxation that made my visit unforgettable.
I started my trip by strolling down the famous Promenade des Anglais, a beautiful walkway that stretches along the coastline. The promenade is lined with palm trees, grand hotels, and beach clubs, and it’s the perfect spot to take in the breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. I could’ve spent hours just walking and people-watching, with the clear blue sea on one side and the lively city on the other. 🌊🏖️
One of my favorite stops was the Old Town (Vieux Nice), with its narrow, winding streets and colorful buildings. The atmosphere here is lively and full of character, with bustling markets, quaint shops, and cozy cafes. I spent an afternoon exploring the Cours Saleya market, where I found everything from fresh produce to handmade crafts. It’s a great place to pick up a souvenir or just enjoy a coffee while soaking up the local vibe. ☕🍊
Another highlight of my trip was visiting the Colline du Château (Castle Hill). Although there’s no entrance fee, the climb to the top was rewarded with stunning panoramic views of Nice and the Baie des Anges. The park up there is perfect for a leisurely walk or a picnic, and the waterfall is a refreshing surprise. 🌅🌳
I also made sure to visit some of the museums, like the Musée Matisse, which is dedicated to the works of Henri Matisse, who spent much of his life in Nice. The museum is located in a beautiful villa surrounded by olive trees, and it offers a peaceful escape from the busier parts of the city. 🎨🏛️
Of course, no trip to Nice would be complete without sampling the local cuisine. From fresh seafood to traditional Niçoise dishes like socca and salade Niçoise, the food was incredible. I enjoyed a meal at a seaside restaurant, where I could enjoy the flavors of the region with a view of the sparkling sea. 🍷🐟
Nice has something for everyone, whether you’re interested in art, history, or just relaxing by the beach. It’s a city that feels both cosmopolitan and welcoming, with a laid-back Mediterranean charm that makes it easy to see why so many people fall in love with it.
