We received the Spring 2010 edition of "Destination France" magazine a couple of weeks ago and found a very interesting article entitled "At a glance guide to Nice" .
It is a most imforative guide by Gillian Thornton. Destination France has given us permission to re-produce the article in full at cotedazurrental.com including a great selection of photographs like the one on the left by Frank Follet.
They offer a guide to various hotels and restaurants as well.
As Gillian says in the article "Mention the name Nice and even people who've never been there have a mental picture of this iconic Riviera resort with its shining super yachts, smart hotels, historic buildings and fashionable boutiques.Nice epitomises the elegance and affluence of the south of France and yet the city has only been French for 150 years. In June 1860, it was handed over to Emperor Napoleon III by Victor Emmanuel, leader of the state of Savoie, in return for military support. This year, the anniversary is being marked with 150 individual community projects, all aimed at making this delightful city even more attractive. Facades will be renovated, gardens landscaped and buildings restored, so if you've never enjoyed the unique atmosphere of France's fifth largest city, there couldn't be a better time to visit. The city is easily accessible from the UK by low cost flight or by train via Paris."
