Nice & Beyond: A Travel Guide

* The best of Nice & Beyond! *

The exciting and fascinating City of Nice lies along the shores of the Baie des Anges in the Mediterranean Sea. It is located in the Alpes-Martimes département of the Région Provence-Cote-dAzur on, what English speakers often call, the French Riviera but which the French know as the Côte dAzur. Its delights were discovered by the English during the mid 19 C but the secret eventually got out and the Riviera later established itself as an international playground.

However, the Nice and Beyond travel app is about much more than this! It also covers the beautiful mountainous territory to the north known as the LArrière Pays Niçois, or as some call it Nice Beyond plus some nearby sights along the hilly coastal region to the east including a little bit of Italy for good measure! I have also included a few towns and villages just to the west of the Var River because they are easily reached and too good to miss.

The app will enable you to explore not only the City and its old town, Vieux Nice, but also the hinterland which many people miss. It suggests places to visit and sights to see, including a few surprises, which appear to be quite remote but which can be reached within an hour or so from the coast.
