Nice; For decades now, the
picturesque Nicean surroundings have attracted not only those in search of
relaxation, but also those seeking inspiration. The clear air and soft light
has been of particular appeal to some of Western culture's most outstanding
painters, such as Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse... Flower markets, fruit and
vegetable markets, fish markets... The Old City - with its picturesque narrow
streets and “Piazzettas” has even more
treasures in store!
