From 'Nice' to 'Nauseatingly Nice' - The Vacation Paradise of Nice, France

Nice, a small city on the northern coast of the Mediterranean in the south of France, is the second largest tourist city in France after Paris, and one of the most charming seaside holiday destinations in Europe and the world. The number of visitors to Nice's city center each year exceeds 4 million, which is more than ten times the population of the city itself. In fact, the French pronunciation of Nice is closer to 'nauseatingly nice' rather than 'Nice'. Legend has it that a long time ago, the British came here and found the climate to be very comfortable, with beautiful sunshine, beaches, and waves, making it a great place to relax on vacation. Thus, they sincerely uttered a praise from the depths of their soul: 'nice~!'. Afterwards, through word of mouth according to the French accent, this beautiful place was named 'Nauseatingly Nice'. Nice has a typical Mediterranean climate, warm throughout the year; the azure Mediterranean Sea and the majestic Alps are the city's eternal landmarks; the sacred ancient Roman history and culture, the romantic fragrance of Provence's lavender fields; and the exotic Mediterranean cuisine, all together create this perfect vacation paradise. The Blue Coast, the Promenade des Anglais, Castle Hill, Old Town Nice, the Bay of Angels, the Saint-Paul de Vence Artists' Village (another note to be issued separately)..., as well as the nearby cities of Cagnes-sur-Mer, Cannes (30 kilometers away) and the wealthy microstate of Monaco (20 kilometers away), are all must-visit destinations for a Nice vacation. Many major European cities have flights to Nice, with the airport only 7 kilometers from the city center.
