Nice, the elegant capital of the Maritime Alps, stretches along the iconic pebble beaches of the Baie des Anges (Bay of Angels), in the heart of the French Riviera.
Its Mediterranean charm is rooted in a millenary past: founded by the Greeks and becoming a privileged destination for the European elite in the 19th century, the city has always attracted writers, painters, and intellectuals in search of light, inspiration, and beauty.
Its bond with art is profound and visible in every corner. At the Musée Matisse, located in the evocative setting of the Cimiez hills, visitors can retrace Henri Matisse‘s creative evolution through one of the world’s most complete collections dedicated to the master of color.
Not far away, the Musée Marc Chagall houses masterpieces of sacred art and pictorial cycles that tell of the artist’s intense relationship with spirituality, making it an essential stop for lovers of modern art.
A vibrant, sunny, and culturally lively city, capable of combining history, sea, and creativity like few others in Europe.
