Revered writer Somerset Maugham, referred to the French Riviera as a “sunny place for shady people”. Today, glitzy Nice does its best to live up to this reputation. A wonderful mix of sophisticated cool and brash opulence, Nice is a destination where it is difficult not to get caught up in the glamour and excess.
Those renting a car in Nice will find traffic to be nightmarish, with tourists thronging the streets everywhere. In and amongst the gaudiness though, there are some very interesting art galleries and museums, a vibrant old quarter and the dramatic blue Mediterranean seafront that has been luring travellers to the French Riviera for years.
Recently, local authorities have invested in a redevelopment of the Place Massena, the city’s largest civic space.
As a city, Nice is something of a contradiction. While visitors can delight in the works of great artists such as Matisse Chagall and Picasso, they can also indulge in high-end retail therapy, all within a 10 minute drive of the less pretty, more gritty suburbs of France’s fifth largest city.
Nice might not consistently offer a laid back holiday or retain the same glamour of its heyday, but it does offer plenty of distractions to keep visitors entertained. For those renting a car in Nice, it is an excellent base from which to explore the Cote d’Azur. If all else fails, visitors always have the spectacular views of the vivid blue Mediterranean to appreciate from the city’s windswept seafront.
