Promenade des anglais, de boulevard langs het drukke strand van Nice. Het mediterraan klimaat dat Nice heeft levert haar in de zomer gedurende 4 maanden zeer aangename temperaturen op die kunnen oplopen tot gemiddeld 30 graden Celsius. Het kan in Nice in zomerperiodes flink droog zijn. Door de relatief koele wind die overheersend uit Afrika komt is het in de zomers aangenaam nabij de stranden. In winterperiodes is het er nat en zijn er temperaturen van gemiddeld 10 graden Celsius.

The city is a major tourist centre and a leading resort on the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur). It is the historical capital city of the County of Nice. There were settlements in the Nice area approximately 2,000 years ago: the site of Terra Amata shows one of the earliest uses of fire and construction of houses. Nice was founded probably around 350 BC by the Greeks of Massilia (Marseille) and received the name of "Nikaia" in honour of a victory over the neighbouring Ligurians (Nike being the Greek goddess of victory). It soon became one of the busiest trading ports on the Ligurian coast
