Welcome to NICE!
Nice has a polished, sun‑drenched charm that feels instantly welcoming. Set along the curve of the Baie des Anges, the city blends Riviera elegance with an easy coastal rhythm.
Days unfold between the palm‑lined Promenade des Anglais, the pastel façades of Old Town, and café terraces where locals linger over espresso or a chilled glass of rosé.
Travelers can wander through vibrant markets, slip into small boutiques, or take in sweeping Mediterranean views from Castle Hill.
There’s a creative streak here too — museums dedicated to Matisse and Chagall, modern galleries, and architecture that glows in the afternoon light.
What makes Nice especially appealing is its balance: refined but relaxed, stylish without trying too hard, and perfectly positioned for exploring the rest of the Côte d’Azur. It’s a place where you can settle in quickly, enjoy the coastal beauty, and savor the simple pleasure of being by the sea.

Set directly on the Promenade des Anglais, the Hotel West End is one of Nice’s most storied waterfront addresses — a Belle Époque landmark with a front‑row seat to the Baie des Anges. Its pale façade, wrought‑iron balconies, and sweeping sea views evoke the quiet glamour of the Riviera, while inside, the atmosphere is relaxed, refined, and unmistakably French.
Perfectly positioned between Old Town and the city’s beach clubs, the
Hotel West End gives travelers easy access to Nice’s coastal rhythm: morning markets, sunlit terraces, and the soft curve of the Riviera just steps away. Hotel West End will serve as the location for the Continuing Education events.

Nice
Beyond its iconic Promenade des Anglais, Nice rewards travelers who wander just a bit further. Seek out the pastel backstreets of the Old Town flower market at Cours Saleya. Venture up to Castle Hill for panoramic views without the crowds or explore the quiet residential neighborhood of Cimiez—home to Roman ruins, olive groves, and the Matisse Museum.
Nice is wonderfully walkable, but its efficient tram system makes it easy to reach hidden cafés, local bakeries, and seaside viewpoints that many visitors miss.
We partner with Viator to offer tours and excursions in the area.
