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!
