It possesses a potent allure that invites visitors to wander through its old neighborhoods around the Old Port, in the gardens with the ancient ruins or the gardens of Longchamp Palace and, of course, on the esplanade of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde Cathedral, which offers a panoramic view of the entire city.

行き先について: Saint-Tropez is a town located to the west of Nice, in the Var department of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region in southeastern France. It's also the main town in the Saint-Tropez canton and is situated on the French Riviera. After the war, it gained international fame as a seaside resort, primarily due to the influx of artists from the French New Wave in cinema and the Yé-yé movement in music. It later became a popular destination for the European and American elite, as well as tourists seeking a taste of Provençal authenticity and the occasional celebrity sighting. In the first week of July, an international Polo tournament is held, drawing top polo players from around the globe to the Saint-Tropez Polo Club.

行き先について: Nice endures its annual influx of tourists each summer, offering all the typical features of a Riviera town: relaxed wealth, a generous beach, museums, and flower-lined avenues, but without the pretentious detachment of its neighboring towns. Moreover, Nice boasts excellent public transportation within the city and to all destinations along the Côte d’Azur, making it an ideal base for exploring the Riviera. The city's long, narrow beach and sunbathing guests are the main attractions for most visitors. However, Nice's old town, or vieille ville, is also worth exploring. This historic district is a unique mix of glamour and a Mediterranean medieval quarter with narrow streets and open-air markets. For a breathtaking Riviera view, climb to the top of the castle. The city also houses several exceptional museums, such as the Musée Matisse, which showcases the work of French painter Henri Matisse, and the Musée National Marc Chagall, dedicated to the work of painter Marc Chagall. The grand Promenade des Anglais stretches along the coast. This pedestrian area is teeming with boutiques, bustling restaurants, and tourists of all kinds. Nice's nightlife is vibrant, with the maze of narrow streets in the vieille ville concealing restaurants and bars, contributing to the city's Mediterranean charm.
