What we like about this video is that you can see the different areas of Nice, such as the Promenade des Anglais, with the nearby Mediterranean Sea. In this video, the sea shows only two colors, and sometimes three. This is due to the deep after only a few meters from shore.
Here are presented the various districts from North to South. It sees the “Stade du Ray” that will be moved ont the “Plaine du Var” next year because the current capacity is too small to accommodate the future European Cup to be held in Nice for four games in 2016.
One can easily see that Nice is a great city is indeed the fifth largest city in France, and the department’s most visited France after Paris.

The foreground of the video is the view from the castle hill, and the hostel is at the foot of the hill. It sees the sea first point of presentation is what makes the Riviera. Foreign tourists still come for her, and gradually the city turned to tourism.
The Riviera has a lot of history are the various waves of immigration tourism. It came first for its mild climate and its sea baths, where the idea for some to build a promenade from which you could walk while seeing the sea is when the English community had the idea to build a promenade, paid by him, and built by architects they had brought from England and the builders workmen. Therefore, the city, to thank them, was named this promenade, with views over the sea, the Promenade des Anglais.

On the second level, we see the Jardin Albert 1st, bottom left of the screen, where the summer they play music in a booth, which is very nice because of its location facing the sea. For the romantic I am, there listening to operatic arias and classical music.

The third plan is the new Nice balcony. We present a sudden the city is breathtaking! and the ground was built a human sundial, just keep right on it to tell time. It was useful because, from there, you can not see past the hour.

The fourth plan we presented the tram that the city is so proud. It was a huge success and our builder mayor, Christian Estrosi, had the idea to build the second tram line that would run from the airport and go to the port. We then see the fountains at the Place Massena, where it is good to sit the summer to be refreshed before resuming the ride.
It may also include, for the following plan, the city of Nice was a fishing town, where it fed his population, and has remained a tradition: The Putin, a fish fry, which are Nice so fond.
The Old Town of Nice is presented by the market covered tents. Then, every Monday, is the antique market, great for bargain hunters, it is incredible! And for the most talented, a chance to practice his art of discovery of rare objects.
The camera moves away from the center to explore the entire city, but it’s difficult because if one compares the Mona Lisa Nice, it sometimes takes centuries to understand all its uniqueness.

Enjoy your visit!

Revive the Carnival Spirit!

Every year, thousand of people travel to Nice to experience Carnival… the biggest party on the winter calendar. Italians corme en mass over the border, Nice Airport is occupied with familles travelling in from throughout Europe, and Frenchies converge with their costumed-up children bearing countless cans of silly spray. Yet, for the people of my y demographic (25-45 year old English-speaking people) the Nice Carnival appears to hold less charm. So, I figured that perhaps it’s time we erevive the Carnival spirit and take advantage of everything this ancient festival represents.

First, a bit about the Carnival:

The Carnival theme this year is the Mediterranean Sea, hence the little orange octopus logo. Over 20 days the Mediterranean’s history, nature and astounding diversity will be explored. The Carnival will also have a guest of honour, Italy, in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the unification of the Kingdom of Italy. So we can expect even more visitors from our border country this year! Each parade will include groups from Italy and special events will be held in their honour.

As well as being an ecologically sensitive carnival, this year’s event is also now politically correct, with the all-important Carnival King welcoming his Queen by his side as they make their grand entrance on the Promenade des Anglais.

Everything else that’s fun:

While we are not a particularly religious bunch nowadays, we can take advantage of the revelries. Carnival traditionally signais the last opportunity for indulgence and excess before the forty-day fast of Lent. For hundreds of years, people indulged in rich and fatty cuisine during this two-week period. So, why not put that calorie counter aside and start eating! Use this opportunity to indulge in rich French cuisine, particularly that which you have never tried before — raclette, fondue savoyarde, foie gras, duck confit, tartiflette, andouillette, French cheeses, crème caramel, macaroons, soufflé, and tarte tartin. Splash out and purchase a a good bottle of French wine or champagne. After ail, this is ail about v indulgence!

Carnival was also a time when ail excesses were authorized by the church; when people could mock everything and everybody behind the o safety of a mask. What a wonderful excuse to host a masquerade party! Masks can be purchased from a variety of stores throughout Nice, including Festival on rue du Lycée.

Every Sunday throughout the Carnival at 11am, there is a local brunch called Carnasocca. There’s no entrance fee, just an abundance of this Nice speciality, made with chickpea flour and olive oil. it’s a unique opportunity to ‘tear bread’ with the locals and carnival crew.

Coinciding with Carnasocca on February 20th is the Carnival Dip at Ruhl Plage, where decidedly daring (or dim-witted) folks take to the water for a winter dip in the Mediterranean. Grab some friends and head to the shore and see who is brave (or still intoxicated from the previous night) enough to hit the water first!

The Carnival itself may be popular with families, but anyone with an interest in the arts will find the street parades fascinating. The giant papier mâché figures are created using ancient techniques, and some of the finest artists and costume makers are called in to bring them to lite.

The floats’ designs can vary from contemporary to downright bizarre, like a giant flying gunwielding, cigar smoking, Sicillian godfather octopus; a few interpretations of the tourist; the balls of Picasso; and a long-legged, big-headed blonde from Saint Tropez. The floats and big heads are only on public show during the parades, so why not fork out the 10E entrance fee and see for yourself why this is considered one of the top carnivals in the world.

The Carnival ends in a spectacular show of flames and fireworks on March 9th. lt seems quite a dishonourable end to the Carnival King, being incinerated just metres from where he made his almighty entrance.

Even more impressive is the Château, illuminated by numerous flashing red and white lights, and strategically placed smoke machines, creating the illusion that Nice is under attack! And of course the fireworks are fun, no matter what your age.

The Nice Carnival is one of the largest, most respected festivals in the world. So why flot take one, or ail, aspects of this celebration and have some fun? You’ve got 20 days to be true te the Carnival spirit!
