Nice: Panoramique HD
Few places in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur have a history as closely tied to Mediterranean trade and the borderlands of France and Italy as Nice. Set on the Baie des Anges, the city stretches from the broad Promenade des Anglais to the old harbour of Port Lympia, while Castle Hill divides the waterfronts of the bay and port. Nice was ceded to France by the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1860, yet its Niçois identity retains strong Ligurian and Italian influences. The Old Town’s narrow streets lead to Cours Saleya, known for its flower and food market, and the city’s cuisine includes socca, a chickpea flatbread associated with local tradition.

Nice straddles the Mediterranean shore of the Baie des Anges in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, where the sea and the foothills of the Alps have shaped a city of seafront promenades and steep inland horizons. The Promenade des Anglais follows the bay beside broad pebble beaches, while Vieux-Nice preserves tight streets and façades that recall the city’s long connection with the House of Savoy. Nice was annexed by France in 1860, a turning point still reflected in its distinct Niçois identity and cuisine, including socca, the chickpea flatbread. Castle Hill rises above the old town and port, marking the site of the former citadel. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Nice and the Côte d’Azur.

The Loire Valley is known for Renaissance châteaux, while Mont-Saint-Michel rises from a tidal bay in Normandy. Regional food traditions are equally distinctive, from Breton seafood to Provençal cooking, with bread, cheese and wine central to everyday life.
