Having a very gentle Mediterranean climate and an extraordinary sunshine, the city of Nice is an authentic jewel encased between the Bay of Angels (Baie des Anges) and its hills. Everything here is meant to lure the tourists, the interchanging gentle dry winters and very hot summers during which the North and West winds are rarely violent.

Also due to its ideal geographic situation, Nice offers numerous parks and gardens adorned with a variety of plants and flowers which have made the city win numerous floral prizes. Not to be missed by lovers of nature: Le Castel des Deux Rois, Castle Hill (la Colline du Chateau), Phoenix Park (Parc Phoenix), Mont Boron, and also the Carol de Roumanie park.
