Highlights:
The English Promenade was built by the British colonists of Nice in 1822. The whole site is 5 kilometers away, next to the Bay of Angels, connecting Nice Airport and the Castle Hill. The avenue is adorned with palm trees all year round, and is lined with boutiques and luxury hotels on both sides. In the 19th century, a large number of Britons chose Nice's Bay of Angels as their holiday destination to escape the harsh winter. In 1820, Lewis Wei, an Englishman, initiated social fundraising and built the pedestrian street, which was only 2 meters wide at the time, into the current-scale avenue, and named "Anglais, the British" as the name of the avenue.

Highlights:
The small town of Eze, located between Nice and Monaco, is a medieval town on the cliffs of the Cote d'Azur. Because of its well-preserved medieval-style villages and its geographical location with a bird's-eye view of the Mediterranean Sea, it has attracted countless tourists. The town is built on a steep rock wall. All buildings are made of stone and loess. The roads are narrow and criss-cross like a labyrinth, like the way a vulture builds a nest. Therefore, it is also called "Vulture Nest Village". The Oscar-winning American film To Catcha Thief was filmed here.
