The City's major projects
Nice, 5th largest city in France and an international tourist centre, is a modern active capital that has preserved its art of living over the centuries of its rich intense history. The importance of Nature forms the basis for a new policy turned towards sustainable development in all areas.

Tourist economy
Parks and gardens
The streets of Nice offer many green areas, little known to tourists, with some 300 hectares of parks and gardens creating unusual oneiric landscapes. The city's mild climate made it possible to acclimate many plant species from all over the world. The resulting palette of shapes and colours inspired many enthusiastic botanists and gardeners.

Mercantour National Park
Located in the heart of a region where Nature is absolutely breathtaking, Nice harbours more than fine architecture and cultural treasures, museums and old palaces, like an art of living shaped over the centuries. It also has mountains above Baie des Anges, with protected flora and fauna.
