DISCOVER TOWN OF Nice (FRANCE)
City of the flowers
Nice
is a town of flowers, old districts and sunlit walk,
of big palaces and business centers. It remains one of
the main landmarks of the "Côte d’Azur", not only for
its luxury and charm but also for its culture and history.
Undulating landscapes, where olive trees and fruit trees still grow
amidst the luxurious villas, form the countryside surrounding
Nice. There, only a short distance away, hillside villages
manage to preserve their identity and charm of yesteryear.
The NICE Carnaval
It
is also a Carnival Town, a popular spectacular annual celebrates
originated in 1294, which salutes with laughter and colour
the local cultural and artistic heritage. The Carnival
is one of the most famous in the world and compares with Rio, Trinidad
and Venice. For 2 weeks, in February, there are processions with floats
and battles of flowers. The show ends with the burning of the Carnival
Queen at the "Quay of the United States" and a fireworks display.
