Nice is a perfect summer destination on the French Riviera. Its location makes it perfect for traveling around and exploring small towns and villages. It is only a short train ride from Monaco, Èze, Menton, Cannes, Antibes, Villefranche-sur-Mer. Take day trips and explore these destinations while basing in Nice. There are a lot of things to do in Nice. Here are my favorites: 1. Stroll around Old Town. 2. Take a walk on Promenade des Anglais. 3. Enjoy amazing views from the Castle Hill. 4. Walk around beautiful Place Massena. 5. Visit amazing museums. I highly recommend Brume Coffee for an amazing breakfast or brunch. #summerdestinations#france #france

#EuropeanTravel The Massena Square is a red building with a mosaic floor, so it feels like you're in Russia. The Apollo statue fountain is not in the middle of the square, but across the street. There is also the Galleria Lafayette and the fountain playground here. It's a shame that there's no shade, so there's no place to rest😢 But it's right in front of the beach, so it's a place to cool off when you go to Lafayette! There's a yellow statue sitting on a tall pillar 😆 📍Massena Square
