Nice: Art Museums and Beaches

Nice, one of Côte d'Azur's highlights, is notable for its atmospheric old town and great art collections, including the Matisse Museum, Chagall Museum, Fine Arts Museum, and Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art. Art to ancient objects is on display in Nice's museums and galleries. On your vacation, you may visit works by Matisse and Picasso and see exhibitions of paleolithic artifacts.

If you're looking for something more relaxed, Nice is one of the few French cities with stunning beaches right on its doorstep. It has four miles of them that stretch as far as the eye can see. La Réserve, a lesser-known public beach situated away to the east of Nice town in the port region, is a local favorite. La Réserve, located just a short walk from the center of Nice, may get crowded due to its small size, but its seclusion from the main stretch gives it a relaxing, intimate atmosphere.
