When I visited Nice, France in July, I quickly realized why it’s considered the crown jewel of the French Riviera. Staying in an Airbnb right across from the Promenade des Anglais , I had breathtaking views of the sparkling Mediterranean from the moment I woke up until the sun dipped below the horizon. Every morning and evening, I enjoyed peaceful strolls along the Promenade — the sea breeze, lively atmosphere, and endless coastline made it one of my favorite parts of the trip.
