60-second guide to Nice airport Terminal 1

in its own head

"Azure seas, beautiful beaches and a Mediterranean climate - it's no wonder this city's called Nice. There's no better place to sit back, enjoy the sun and sip on an ice-cold G&T."

but more realistically

There's more to Nice than lounging on the beach. The city has enough museums to quench anyone's thirst for knowledge, while history buffs will be turned on by the ancient Roman ruins.

the vibe

Had your fill of sun, sea and culture? Then grab a seat in one of the many squares, enjoy an espresso and watch the locals stroll by wearing sunglasses.

the natives

Nice is, like much of the French Riviera, a playground for the rich and famous. Expect to rub shoulders with the odd Formula 1 driver in the local supermarket.

the weather

Don't forget to pack your flip-flops - Nice is pretty warm all year round, especially between May and October. Prepare for a spot of rain between September and March though.

the local speciality

A pan-bagnat - essentially a Nicoise salad in a bap - is a local lunch favourite. They're also partial to a bowl of ratatouille on the Cote d'Azur.

the celebrity

Celebrity babies Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline - the spawn of Hollywood superstars Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt - were born at the Lenval Hospital in Nice.

did you know?

During the 1500s local heroine Catherine Segurane apparently helped defend Nice from Turkish invaders by exposing her bare bottom and offending their morals.

they say

"Nice has an undeniably sophisticated touch with its cafe terraces and palm-lined seaside promenade stretching along the water." - Time Out Guide
