This, the 5th largest city in France, is considered to be the capital of the Côte d’Azur.  It is a southern coastal city with a unique lifestyle and traditions, and it’s one of the major tourism destinations in Europe. It is one of the wealthiest cities in terms of culture and things to do! Every year, 10 million tourists from around the world visit Nice and the region.

Summer temperatures oscillate around 30 degrees Celsius (86°F) during the day, while at night they are only slightly lower. July usually has the highest humidity, and the summer season runs from May through to the end of September.
