The blue coastline shines brilliantly in Nice

In the south of France, Nice offers a Mediterranean charm that is distinctly different from Paris. The enchanting scenery and simple folk customs attract many artists from schools such as Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Expressionism, and Abstract Art to reside here and create timeless masterpieces inspired by this place. In Alfred Hitchcock's classic film 'To Catch a Thief', the scene where the protagonists drive a vintage car through the mountains was shot in a town between Nice and its neighboring Monaco. Renting a vintage car on the Blue Coast and starting from Nice or Monaco, driving up the winding mountain roads to the top, you will reach the location of the famous bridge in the movie—the town of Eze. The philosopher Nietzsche lived here several times and completed the third part of his representative work 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' in this place. Walking along the long Promenade des Anglais, sitting on the iconic blue chairs of Nice to feel the sea breeze, or enjoying lunch under the sun at a beachside restaurant are all the best ways to experience the local life in Nice. This promenade stretches for kilometers along the beautiful Bay of Angels, with art galleries, shops, and luxury hotels on both sides. The Nice Carnival, the Battle of Flowers parade, and other festive events are all held on this extraordinarily charming avenue. Besides leisurely strolling between the blue sea and sky, you can also explore the ancient towns along the coastline, each with its own charm. The old town of Nice has many Baroque churches and houses, filled with an Italian style of life and atmosphere. The buildings in the old town are brightly colored, and the narrow winding alleys follow the undulating hills, with many unique shops, restaurants, and bars along the way. There is also a night market in the evening, selling various handicrafts. Walking on the streets of the old town is like traveling through the long history of Nice, feeling the city's profound historical heritage and unique cultural charm.
