The city of Nice on France’s Mediterranean coast makes a great city break in the spring when the days are starting to warm up.

It’s the gateway to the French Riviera and has long been a tourist destination thanks to its temperate climate. Nice is famous for its pebble beach and the Promenade des Anglais which runs alongside it, surrounded by vast and colourful 19th-century mansions.
