French holiday courses: Nice, France
An extraordinary cultural and artistic heritage shaped by the most famous painters, writers and musicians, a magnificent natural environment and a strong southern character - this is Nice, the gem of the French Riviera and a true Mediterranean city! Famous for its lifestyle and its exceptionally mild climate, the city welcomes visitors all the year long.
Some twenty miles from the Italian border, Nice combines the proverbial yacking or “parlantina” of its Italian neighbours – called “tchache” here - with a touch of French elegance. But there is no restraint here! Everyone speaks in a high and mighty tone, fishmongers and taxi drivers, students and businessmen alike, and all of them have their say on everybody and on everything with the charming southern French accent.
The city is proud of its past, which can be described as turbulent: the Greeks, the Romans, the Sarracens, the Moors, the Sardinians and the people from Savoy have successively left a deep impression on its territory. Nice cultivates its provincial dialect, proudly asserts its regional art of cooking, which is too often reduced to the famous “salade niçoise”, and celebrates all the festivals with passion, from the carnival to the flowers battles, including regular homages to various saints.
Nestled in the Bay of Angels, Nice fascinates its visitors at first sight. The old Nice with its narrow streets, the castle on the hill overlooking the beautiful city, the harbour packed with luxurious yachts and cabin cruisers, the numerous museums and the picturesque pedestrian areas... A real epicurean experience! Colours, savours, scents and sounds carry you away into a blissful world where time goes by smoothly. Make this pleasant impression last for ever, in Nice, of course!
