Details über Nice Alle Ferienhäuser - NiceNizza ist seit Jahrhunderten ein beliebter Ferienort, und die Stadt hat Könige und Fürsten aus aller Welt angezogen, was die vielen prächtigen Hotels in Nizza auch bezeugen. Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts etablierte sich fast eine britische Kolonie, der britische Hochadel strömte herbei und nahm fast die meiste von der Küstenstrecke ein. Es waren auch die Briten, die die großartige Promenade, Camin des Angès, davon auch der spätere Name Promenade des Anglais. Nizza war auch ein beliebtes Winterquartier für die Königin Victoria. Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts loggierte sie während des Winters im Palasthotel Regina im Cimiez-Viertel. Hier empfing sie unzählige europäische Fürsten und andere gekrönte Staatsoberhaupte.
Nizza gehört nur seit 1860 zu Frankreich. Vor dieser Zeit gehörte die Stadt zu Italien, wovon sie heute noch deutlich gekennzeichnet ist. Die größte Attraktion ist der alte Stadtteil Vielle Ville oder Vieux Nice, wie er auch benannt wird. Hier gibt es ein Labyrinth aus engen, verwinkelten Gassen, dicht an einander liegenden roten Ziegeldächern, kleinen gemütlichen Plätzen, ganz vielen Geschäften und einer großen Auswahl an Cafés und Restaurants. Cours Salaya ist das Herz des alten Stadtteils. Hier gibt es jeden Morgen einen großen Blumen- und Obstmarkt, und einmal im Monat gibt es hier einen großen Antiquitätenmarkt. Matisse wohnte am Ende des Marktplatzes in einem großen gelben Haus. Hier saß er oben im dritten Stock und gucke aus dem Fenster, während er seine kleinen wunderschönen Kunstwerke machte. Die italienische Beeinflussung ist hier sehr stark.
Nizza liegt heute am Fuße des Berges Rocher du Château, wo die Stadt ursprünglich lag. Von hier hat man eine weite Aussicht über die Bucht, Baie des Anges und den alten Stadtteil, Vielle Ville auf der einen Seite und den Hafen auf der anderen Seite. Oben gibt es einen Park mit einem Spielplatz, römischen Ruinen und einem Wasserfall.

A very popular, medieval village in the department of Alpes Maritimes, best known for its glassware. Here one can also find a very interesting Fernand Léger-museum.
Cagnes-sur-Mer, situated between Nice and Antibes, first of all offers a magnificent, fortified old quarter, Haut-de-Cagnes, perched high up on top of a small rock. The town is intersected by steep, winding streets and stairways and a multitude of small, idyllic squares. At the top of the town you will find the ancient Grimaldi castle from the 14th century.
The most fashionable town on the French Riviera with its long elegant promenade La Croisette and the luxurious Hotel Carlton. Lying across from Cannes is Iles de Lérins, two charming flower filled little islands, Ste-Marguerite and St-Honoret. Ste-Marguerite, the island closest to the mainland is almost covered in pine forest. It is particularly renowned because of ”the man with the iron mask” who was imprisoned here and whose identity is still unknown. At St-Honoret there is a beautiful old monastery, dating from the 11th century. In earlier times, St-Honoret was a religious centre for southern Europe and the monastery owned most of the land along the Mediterranean including Cannes. The island is still inhabited by monks. A museum and a church can be visited by the public.
Has almost grown together with the neighbouring town St-Raphaël. In Fréjus one can find a characteristic French promenade with nice, little cafés and a multitude of restaurants, bars and discos, seething with life every night.

In Fréjus there are quite a few Roman monuments, among other things a small arena which is still used for concerts and bullfights. One can also find a big amusement park with a Marineland.
Golfe Juan, situated between Cannes and Antibes, offers one of the very best beaches on the French Riviera, an impressive marina, restaurants, cafés and boutiques. It was also here Napoleon landed in 1815, when escaping from Elba. In Golfe Juan there is a 5 hectares public park, Exflora Park, showing different Mediterranean gardens exactly as they were in Roman Times and in the sumptuous 19th century.
Situated between Alpes-de-Haute-Provence and Var. The breathtaking canyon, Gorges du Verdon, is one of Europe’s greatest nature wonders - an outstanding nature experience that one must experience.

A popular beach resort beside Antibes. Juan-les-Pins is a town for young people with its many boutiques, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and a casino.

The Principality of Monaco (pop.: 31,842) is a sovereign state lying out to the Mediterranean and surrounded by the French Alpes Maritimes department. Its geographical extent of 2 km² makes Monaco the world’s smallest country. Monaco is nicknamed The Mediterranean Manhattan as it is packed with sky scrapers and sumptuous villas. It is a constitutional monarchy and Prince Albert’s family, the Grimaldies, have reigned in Monaco since 1297. Monaco consists of three towns: The old town, Monaco-Ville, with the Royal Palace on top of a cliff, Monte-Carlo with its very famous Casino and the residential area la Condamine, with its big marina.

The artists’ town, St-Paul-de-Vence, is one of the prettiest and most picturesque villages in the region. Here one can find Auberge Colombe d’Or, one of southern France’s most famous restaurants.
This town has almost grown together with the neighbouring town, Fréjus. Since the middle of the 19th century St-Raphaël has been a popular holiday resort with nice, sandy beaches, marina and good shopping facilities. It was at this place Napoleon landed on his way back from Egypt in 1799, and so did the French- American troupes in 1944. One of the greatest sights in the town is a Templar’s church, dating back to the 12th century.
Originally St-Tropez was a small, humble, fishing village, until Brigitte Bardot, Françoise Sagan and other celebrities discovered the town in the 1950’s and pulled in the whole jet set. In high season (August), around 80,000 tourists arrive at this extraordinary holiday resort. Despite this “big circus” in the summer, the town is definitely worth a visit.
A most charming medieval village, situated between Cannes and Nice, only 14 km from the coast. It is renowned for its culture of violets. Tourrettes-sur-Loup is very much worth a visit.
