Nice and the entire southern coast provide so many different experiences. Hiking in the hills, exploring the villages perched on the cliffs, nightlife in the bigger cities. I especially like to stay in a rented villa in the country and drive the hairpin curved roads through the hills. I never know what i'll find.
