Nice (NCE) |
|---|
Nice is a wonderful French Riviera city and a popular destination for couples, honeymooners and sun-worshipers. Nice, France's second-largest city and a dignified queen of the Cote d'Azur, certainly has plenty to offer the tourist. Still, this area of France is filled with wonderful hilltop perched villages, upscale resort cities, an independent principality and neighboring Alps villages. It's also just a short jaunt to Italy. Nice is just a delight, with its flower market, gorgeous coastline, sipping drinks mere feet from the Mediterranean, great shopping and delightful pastries. The blue sky and the azure sea, the gold of the sun, the green of the palm trees, the white of the pebbles, and you basking in the dreamy beauty of Nice. The Airport in Nice called the Cote d'Azur Airport is the second largest in France. More than 8 million passengers travel through each year (of which 49% are from overseas) and it represents an ideal gateway to the South of Europe. 45 airlines make 82 direct connections to 27 countries worldwide and operate a large number of daily flights to and from 30 other French cities. With over 300 flights a week and some 45 daily flights, the Paris-Nice route is the busiest in France. |
