This vibrant city is the capital of the Côte d’Azur or French Riviera, although it only became part of France in 1860. Before this date, it formed part of the Kingdom of Sardinia. It has a lengthy history and ancient findings revealed there was a settlement here as early as 400,000 BC.

Nice is one of the most established resorts on the French Riviera and an attractive city to settle in. It is well known for its famous 4 mile esplanade, Promenade des Anglais, which dates back two centuries. It is a very alluring destination, particularly the area by the Old Port where many awe-inspiring yachts are moored.
