Nice is a dash of ancient Roman, Renaissance architecture, ancient historic sites, cultural venues, and great dining options facing the Mediterranean Sea. Located in the south-center of Western Europe and hosting many attractions the city is perfect for 5-day side trips from Paris.
If only more cities had miles of dedicated bikeway anchored by such an attractive Promenade des Anglais. The world would be a better place, or at least a more active one for cyclists, joggers and casual walks. First-timers may want to start their journey with a French Riviera Pass for orientation and access to the best attractions.
