Nice
Nice, Queen of the Riviera, has long had a certain reputation as a town for well-off old age pensioners that has to deal with a growing number of concrete bunkers. Some people even say the city has slept into a kind of torpor that even the carnival and great jazz parade hardly disturb. But that's enough of the criticisms. How can you not be charmed by such a place? The luminosity that attracted Nietzche, so many painters, and so many anonymous English and Russians looking for the easy life.
