The ancient city " Nikaia " ranks as 5th largest city in France. Against a back-drop where the colours of the sea, the sun and the surrounding hills are always present, Nice seduces by its liveliness, its beautiful ocre-coloured facades, its picturesque markets and most of all by its authenticity.
In recent years Nice has become well-known for its contribution to modern art and culture, being home to a number of highly regarded art galleries. In particular, several new art museums have sprung up in Nice over the past thirty years attracting many modern art lovers to this beautiful city.
