Nice， the capital of the Cote d’Azur is beautifully curved around the Bay of Angels and is an anytime destination. Spring and autumn are generally perfect for outdoor activities， summer for sun bathing and in winter the weather may be mild enough for lunch on a terrace.
France’s fifth city has become a favorite weekend retreat for Parisians and other heatseeking Europeans but to discover different facets of the city， it takes at least four days.
A relaxing vacation in Nice starts from the Promenade des Anglais， with the sparkling Baie des Anges （Bay of Angels） on your right toward the south and the city arching round the bay on your left to the north. This expressive， main coastal road was built in the 19th century when the English took to spending the winter in Nice.
And no one has ever missed the landmark Le Negresco in the past 100 years. The Negresco’s own story is as compelling as the world-famous English Promenade （the Promenade des Anglais） and the sweeping bay of Angels.
You can’t say you’ve been to Nice if you haven’t walked down the boardwalk in the broiling sun and haven’t noticed men and women in elegant attire slithering out of Jaguars and into Le Negresco.
Restaurant Le Chantecler （inside Le Negresco）
The restaurant of the legendary Le Negresco was awarded its second star by the Michelin Guide in August 2012， saluting the work of chef Jean-Denis Rieubland and his team. The dining room has kept its Regency style decor and beautiful 18thcentury wood paneling. Chef Rieubland defines its cuisine and style as “inspired by Provence， its products and traditions” and likes to pass on his love of authenticity.

Le Negresco （37， Promenade des Anglais， Nice）
Overlooking Nice’s Promenade des Anglais， Hotel Le Negresco is one of the world’s few remaining privately owned palaces. The hotel brasserie La Rotonde is worth checking out with its striking decor of vibrant colors and an 18th-century carousel of wooden horses. The terrace opens onto the sea and the sun.

Landmark hotel：Le Negresco
A landmark hotel with a century of history， it enfolds guests into 400 years of French culture across six floors. Treasures from Louis XIII’s reign to modern days fill in niche. It’s not simply a luxurious hotel but an intimate and impressive French art museum： Negresco owes its strong identity partly to a large art collection of more than 6，000 works. Guests can admire the generous forms of Nikie Saint Phalle’s Nana Jaune in the Royal Lounge or the series of carpets designed by Raymond Moretti. The ballroom-sized main public space has a glass dome made in Gustave Eiffel’s workshops and a French chandelier ordered by Czar Nicholas II for the Kremlin.
Strolling along the coastline from Le Negresco and heading to the Old Town （Vieux Nice） is a pleasant journey， enfolding sea， sun， sky and old town nestled in among it all. The city， with different facets and period architecture， is surprising in its personality and dynamism.
Market on ramparts
Perhaps the greatest of Vieux Nice’s treasures is the cours Saleya. The pedestrian area was built on the ramparts dismantled in the early 18th century. In this rectilinear baroque ochre setting， the flower and vegetable markets are held every day except Monday and provide a feast for the eyes and a delight for the taste buds.
Vieux Nice is lively and animated， with a strong Italian influence. There are a multitude of small， inexpensive pizzerias， restaurants and gelato shops. Don’t forget to try socca before you leave the old town； it’s a chickpea crepe that has been deep fried in batter.
