| Rules are very important here, Kids 10 years and younger are not allowed in the front of the car. speed limits are to be obayed at all times as there is a zero tolerance attitude here. What ever you do.....DO NOT drink and drive here, you may find yourself in prison. |
| Nice Overview |
Situated on the beautiful Côte d'Azur on the southern coast of France, Nice is France's fifth largest city. With excellent nightlife, beaches lined with palm trees and a plenty of museums to keep the culture vultures happy, Nice should be at the top of anyone's intinerary to France.
Nice's hinterland is just as appealing, the glamorous resorts of Monaco and Cannes are just a short drive away along with some of Provenance's most beautiful rural villages. Thanks to a good temperate climate all year round, Nice has became one of France's favourite retreats. |
